Looking for some opinions.
I never hear much about Proline boats but they look like a reasonably priced boat. I've been looking @ at various models and I like they way prolines look. But dont know what the quality is/
I am looking for a fishing/family center console, 20ft or less, 19 is good. I can barely tie my shoes, so i am looking for something realtively new and will not require work to get into the water.
Anyone have any info? There is one for sale that seems like an awesome deal, 2004, warranty on hull and motor. Just not sure what i should be worried about......

I have had no quality issues since 1995 when I bought new.
No cracks, no leaks, no corrosion, no defects etc......

If your kids are young a cuddy is the way to go, mine loved it down there and they stay drier than in a CC...plus now all my gear stays dry and safe locked up in there.

Good luck.
PM me if you want any specifics.

I have a 1996 23' Proline WA with a 96 yr 225 Johnson Ocean Runner on a bracket and have no problems.
I bought it used in 1999 from Monahans Marine in Weymouth
and can't think of anything bad about the boat & continue to have it serviced at Monahan's .

Before gas got real $$$ I have taken it to Oak Bluffs in MV,Boston Harbor, Race Point a million times plus crusing and beaching with the
family. Great all around boat .I consider it a Chevy compaired some other high end boats of the same size.
All in all I am very pleased with it.But a word of caution as with any boat ,you got to pick your weather window.
