Placed a deposit on a Highfield 290 last week at the NYC Boat Show. This is to be used on our 320. We went with this for a few reasons. We are a family of 5 (4,6 and 11) and I like the room the v shaped hull provides so the kids can hunker down if they want. It's also a powder coated aluminum bottom with a 2 year transferable warranty on the bottom and 10 years on the tubes. Max rating on a motor is 8 hp. I like that its 9'6' and weighs about 79 lbs and is a rigid bottom. I've read that pvc is not very desirable, but with a 10 year warranty could you go wrong. Cost is about $1750. Is this a good buy?
