re: Sea Pro 248

My uncle had one that I fished out of for years in Venice. It was nothing but problems and cheaply made. But as they say, you get what you pay for so it should have been expected.
1) We stepped through the forward fish boxes as they were paper thin decking.
2) gel coat was busted to hell and back all over boat
3) wiring was not great and had to be completed reworked within 3-4 years
4) had to rachet strap the t top down one day riding back tiger pass
5) boat rode like an unbroke mule
6) hardware was cheap, likely from the wrong side of China

The only plus to the boat was a Yamaha on the back ( never had motor trouble). He was happy to sell it and move on to a more quality built boat. It cost him.
I’m glad your has worked out. I’m sure they have made some decent ones.
