Harry, are you serious about "tired old woman" or was that a joke that
failed? Do you plan on getting rid of wife number 2 when she gets old and
tired?

Sorry, but I don't like tired old boats...or tired old women, either.
But I do own a nice 1959-1960 car that isn't too tired.

Paul,
If your looking for a boat to survive a Hurricane, your over thinking the
whole Idea. Hurricanes are what insurance is for. If your looking for a lake
boat (small) a Bayliner will suit you fine (sorry Harry, I agree with you on
the brand but depending on the useage it would work.) You can pay 60k for a
20ft Cobalt or Chris Craft(new ones are very cool looking) and it will last
forever. but if your using it on a smaller lake and keep it garaged the 20ft
bayliner/glastron will give you the same pleasure for about 18k. best of
luck

I am very new to boating and I realize I may be starting an argument which
is very much not my intention, I'm just trying to learn here.

Would there be a difference between being built well and being able to
survive being smashed into pilings by 74 mph winds in a hurricane?

I swear to god that's not intended as flamebait, I honestly thought a well
built boat could still fare badly if loose in a hurricane.

Hi Michael, thanks for your input.

I'm actually not looking for a boat that could survive a hurricane. I was
just questioning the opinion some people hold that if it can't survive
smashing it into a piling it's not well built.
