Hi Andrew:
We have a Roberts 64 & know folks with a 50 and a 45. It is only a sample
of 3, but we are all satisfied with our boats' performance. All the boats I
am speaking of are steel, so already heavy. I know that John Neal's wife
Amanda grew up on a Roberts (50?) that her parents own. Many of these boats
are built by individuals or in small yards, so lots of variation in
quality. What is the hull material of the one you are considering?
cheers
Steve
