Jerry,

You know, it seems to me most of the boats over $200 are solid these days and it's hard to go terribly wrong with the major manufactures. I probably have the same model Bronco as you and it is still holding up after all these years!

I know some guys have Scaddens, Outkast, VV and more but to me, I want to support the manufacture that supports us and it's been Buck's. I know not as many here at BnT use them but the SCBBBC is mostly all with them and they have even modified their frame design to accomodate the weight of a livewell on the back.

Again, you can find some great deals online if you are patient. My buddy picked up an almost new Bronco (it was 7 years old but only used about 6 times) for $200 and I've heard of others in this price range as well.

Make sure you post when you're headed out and I'm sure you'll have a chance to meet up with some of the guys! I'm not in my kickboat very much anymore but do enjoy getting out in it when I have a chance.
