I have owned a 1991 Princecraft Super Pro 196 for 7 years. During that time
we have had to replace the deck and a few rivets have popped below the
waterline. It has been used in salt water and run hard. Handles rough water
ok. When contacting Princecraft with questions a few years ago received
little to no help so I don't bother now. FYI
