I guess What's the Point, this is the point in the conversation where I'd say that everyone is entitled to their own opinion.... Just so you know, my boat does have 300 ponies but despite what people would tend to think.... My boat will only do 60mph... The ranger 621 is not near what it's cousins in the bass boat family are... It is a multi species boat and they prove themselves time and time again... I'm also equipped with "Smooth Move" pedestal seat mounts that take any shock out of the rough water pound that you may encounter.... I didn't buy my Ranger to do 70 mph across rough water, I bought my Ranger to be able to stay longer on the water, and enjoy the fish ability the 621 offers... My back problems have thanked me for the decision I've made to switch to a glass boat and I can say as of right now, absolutely no regrets..... Oh and btw..... There is no plywood in my boat...
