Monohull

Among the steadiest drives of our tests, the 214 Funship seems bigger than the name suggests and is one of the best family boats for the 2005 model year.

The 195RX's Z-plane hull produces faster speeds and smoother handling.

The gelcoat gleamed, and ample use of stainless-steel hardware means its good looks will remain for years.

In Minnesota, where Alumacraft boats are manufactured, there's a large national park with hundreds of lakes on which motors exceeding 25 horsepower are banned. It was for anglers who want to access these lakes, first-time buyers and anglers anywhere who prefer smaller lakes and rivers that Alumacraft built the 160CS.
