I miss whippoorwills. Have not heard any in several years.

I picked up my stealth 186 last aug. I put a df115 suzuki on it, while not a speed demon it works out great for me. Overall the boat seems to handle pretty well. Takes the LOZ waves without jarring your teeth out. The livewell system could be better, the tops are not sealed causing some splash over into the bottom of the boat in rough water. Not enough to be a problem but annoying. Also I had a Humminbird 998 installed at console and there is no way to access the cables except taking the entire back deck off. For the most part it is a great little boat. I really like the deck space, good stable fishing platform. I am glad I bought it.

Well after looking around awhile, I think I have settled on a boat. I found a SeaArk Stealth 186 that looks like it will fit my needs perfectly. I will pick it up in about 3 weeks. I will give a little review on it after playing with it for a bit.

Thanks for the input. I want to find a good boat that will last me several years.Usage will be about 98% lake ( lake ozark, truman, mark twain ) and 2% river (osage, missouri).

Hello everyone. I have been a lurker here for awhile. I have been thinking of buying a boat, I found a boat that looks pretty good but I have not heard much about them. It is a 18ft Weld-Craft boat with a 9 degree hull. Made in Benton,Arkansas. Have not been able to find any reviews on the web. I was hoping someone on here knows a little about them, good or bad.
