Combination of quality and marketing (no doubt).......pros and cons.....I own a 19' Outrage......choppy ride, but built like a fortress......narrow beam, but unsinkable and holds resale value......I've taken her out in 5' - 7' seas, and she held up fine (I got the s$$t kicked out of me, but the Whaler held up fine)......I even got swamped once up to my shins (took a large wake from a custom sportfisherman over the transom) and she self-drained out the scuppers like it was nothing.......like anything else, pros and cons....
