jehler, I have the stealth 17 footer, its been excellent, V. good in rough water, takes very little water over the bow.The blind is also very good . I dont have experience with the 25 footer, butI have seen one and spoke to someone one that rode in one, (not a owner , a client of a guide), he wished he could get one.
The welds are excellent as far as I can see.
I bought this boat as a long term investment, I am not the best at
babying a boat I am the rough and ready type, this is also a reason I choose this boat.
