long term? is 60 years of manufacture long enough for you?

the boats are judged on their intended use, of course it isnt going to win against a bar crusher or stabicraft offshore, but up the estuaries and on the lakes it wind hands down, will be interesting to see what the judges decide

Well Tracker have been about for donkeys years and rely on thin skins supported by foam and Ive seen one of those smashed to a non repairable wreck in lakes and estuaries inside two years.

Time will tell Im sure.

Watched some of it the other day, some pretty poor boat handling by some unhappy-fish.gif .. the best boat pulled in and looked awesome ! then realized it was a local Edencraft 233.

I wish EMP, would luv a 233.(my baby eden is the 2nd best though:) )

Felt sorry for the poor rep from CC ,obvious he's never moored in tide.Was probably made worse for him with reps from other brands all standing about watching.

Regards john
