looking at a 173 cc angler

[toddr5516]

I've been looking at this boat for awhile.
it has a 70 four stroke on the back.
Today I was going to the internet and I saw where an owner was totally displeased with his and it got me reconsidering about purchasing from this manufacture.
The price is 4 to 5 grand less than the others is what attracted me to it and it looks more solid than more expensive models.
Can i expect angler to stand behind their product?
Are there other brands out there that are well built and in the middle ground of features as angler?
I see that no one on this board has any bad things to say about this brand and I'm not too sure about the web site i saw today.
any feed back positive or negative would be greatly appreciated as this would be my first nice boat.
thanks much .

I own a 204FXLE as you may have read. What do you see when you inspect the Angler? These boats don't fall apart, but do come with a bit of baggage from previous years of so-so fit & finish. If you're looking to get some enjoyment for quite a few bucks less than a "name boat" buy it. I'd do it again. But if you need the "name" an Angler might be a problem.
