| THE UNIFLITE LINE OF BOATS WAS OF EXCELLENT QUALITY. THEIR
HULLS ARE AS CLOSE TO BULLET PROOF AS ONE CAN COME. ONE
DRWABACK, THEY USED A FIRE RETARDANT IN THEIR RESIN, AND THIS
IS BELIEVED TO BE THE CAUSE OF SOME OF THE BLISTERING PROBLEMS
WE HAVE TODAY. ONE THING YOU DONT SPECIFY IS THE YEAR OF THE
BOAT YOUR LOOKING AT, WITH THIS WE COULD PROBABLY GIVE
YOU MORE INFO.

| I have a 79 Uniflite Sport Sedan (32 ft) and I love it. Absolutely
maximum quality everything. They made all the same tradeoffs I would
have made if I were designing the boat. Example- zero teak outside,
total teak inside. If you've ever tried to maintain exterior teak,
you'll know what I mean. I can't understand why anyone ever buys
an Egg Harbor.
A bonus I realized after I bought the boat- anyone who buys a
top-of-the-line toy like this new won't be stingy about throwing
money into it later- the original owner put in every top end accessory
you could imagine on my boat. Since accesories don't add much to
the market price of a used boat, I got an incredible bargain.
I have heard the rumors about blistering as well. There is no evidence
of any on my boat. However, I would look carefully if I were you.
One last note- there are tradeoffs. Since the boat is built like
a tank, it is very heavy for it's size. That means a lower top end
and more fuel usage.
