Bigerich, Bahner boats have a very checkerd past and there are some folks that know alot more about Rod Bahner and his boats than I do. That being said I own a 19' Bahner bubble deck and am happy with the boat. My hull is a little on the light side (lay-up) but seems to be well made. I've heard that Bahners don't do chop well at speed (tend to crack) but I haven't seen this , I've never seen a slow one yet and when mine was stock with cast intake manifold it did 65 mph gps with a 330 hp Harden 454. Although I've only seen the 19's before and I understand his earlier boats where better made. If you find you like the boat see if seller will meet you somewhere for a test ride (offer to pay have the expenses for the test) if he won't do this than move on there are a ton of other boats out there
