What the diff in the materials or thickness from an xpress to a gaudet , scully or the other custom boats?
The biggest reason shop built boats hold up better is the amount of ribs they use. More ribs the less flex you will have in rough water. I know hankos uses 3/16th aluminum with a double bottom on their boats that will take a beating.
