Anyone on this forum care to give there opinion on grouping boat brands/manufacturers from great
quality to poor quality? I.E. 1. Great quality boats 2. good/average quality boats. 3. not to offend anyone
we will call them less than average quality boats.

Pretty safe bet that ANYONE on an internet forum is willing to give an opinion. :lol:

It would be just that though. I've only owned 3 different boats & brands, so anything else would be a limited experience opinion.

I can't believe that no one on this forum has an opinion on this subject.

Brent, where would you put Maxxum or Chapparral? Everything else looks spot on to me. Nick

OK... I will take a bait and give it a shot!.... There is no way that Rinker is good… Good value maybe…
Here is my subjective list based on my eyes and ears point of view for last 4 years (2006 and later model)…. Once again this is my personal opinion.

Superior:
Cobalt
Formula

Good:
Sea Ray
Monterey
Four Winns
Chaparral
Crownline
Regal

Average:
Rinker
Azure
Glastron
Larsen
Maxum
Yamaha

Below average:
Tahoe
Bayliner

Is crownline still in bankruptcy?
I had a key west for fishing and I would rate them as good. Thanks for your input.
