I have been looking to buy a 16ft utility tiller aluminum boat and have narrowed it down to Mirrocraft or Alumacraft. Does anyone own one of these or used one ? If so how did it come up on plane, handle rough water, heavy loads or anything else that comes to mind?? What ever i purchase it will have a 20-25hp on it.
Thanks for any info.

Have had a mirrocraft 14 ft deep V, Boyer tilt trailer, with a 15 horse on it since 1977 when I bought it. Haven't had a problem with the boat or trailer all these years

I've got a brand new Alumacraft Escape ordered and waiting for it to get here! I did a lot of shopping around and settled on the Alumacraft because I liked the quality and have a dealer close by. Honestly though, I think you'd be ok either way.
