hi soapie ,i own a stessco hassar 480 plate alloy boat ...have owned a few different boats over the years i find the stessco boat i have is a great boat ,,tuff and strong ,it handles all condishions verry well...when it comes to stessco , i have found them to be hard to deal with...have sent them emails and i dont get any back ,,,there web site is not up todate and there phone number has changed from what the web site says it is ...,,the one thing i did not like was the POSITIVE FLOTATION,,,,,when i pulled up the floor the positive flotation was some offcuts of foam in plasic bags,,,very cheap ...over all the finish of the boat is ok, i think you will be happy with the rv420 looks like a nice boat but then they all look nice when they are new,, ,,pm me if you want to come out for a fish on the stessco .....albert
