    Underrated Boats

    So I was chatting with a mate, and we were chatting about the most underrated boats.

    What do you all think are underrated boats and great for the price??

    Personally - I think there are probably more over rated boats as opposed to under rated …. maybe maybe not.

    I'd love to hear what the under rated boats are

    Have to agree, lots of boats are "legendary" when in fact are poorly made, and some performance is average, but, the name is everything.

    Ill start - a little old (1970s to 80s vintage) 15ft yalta craft/cruisecraft cuddy's (a few diff builders same hull) very capable little boat the 445f got all the credit but these hulls where just as good. Cheap as shit (but def need to check for rot in transom/floors/stringers.

    a second from me on that one. I liked mine so much I bought a second one.

    It’s funny that my mums partner always talks about these whenever I see him but he’s never actually been in one

    That's how "legends" are born, and over rated boats get their reputation, these urban myths and old wives tales just keep perpetuating.

    From the modern boats I think the Yalta craft are very under rated, especially the 555/2000.

    My 1988 doesn't leak.
    They don't like petrol spilled into the bilge and if you do the connection between the transom and the bottom will leak until you reapply some fresh sealant.eg sikkaflex
    Ask me how I know, after a boo boo in my 5.6 !
