I have decided that I need a new boat. I think I have one picked out. It's a 19x 72 Fish Rite. I have looked at the Alumaweld, Northrivers,Customweld and I think I like the Fish Rite best. It comes with a 175 Sportjet. I'm not buying till the first part of next year when they go on sale again but need to do my homework now. What do ya all think? Thanks I think.

A friend of mine just got a 21ft Fish Rite with a 225 Mercury pump. Absolutely beautiful boats. Has custom storage and many more options. I like my Super Vee but if I was going to buy a new boat I would look seriously at the Fish Rite.

Fishrite builds a very nice quality boat. I think you've made a great choice. If your not planning to purchase a boat until next year, then you've got lots of time to keep shopping. With the rishing prices of aluminum, I would expect next years boats to cost more. Find another boat you'd like just as well and let each rep. know your looking and shopping for quality as well as price. You should be able to find boat show prices without the show even today.

good luck,

Hey...My boat's a Fish Rite (20x72...200hp(dead) Merc!! Although it's 18 years old now...it's a VERY sturdy boat. It lacks alot of the fancy schmancy stuff that's available on the newer models......but I gotta tell ya...they're well built. If you ever get a chance to see their hull construction...be sure to check it out. Though I can't ever see me buying another boat....I'd be looking hard at Fish Rite's if I did!!
