The newer ones may look better than their older brethren, but they are still built to a price point, not designed for strength and longevity.
It's pretty hard to shake a bad rep; even if the quality has gone up. Looking at the boats in this price point they are all pretty much the same - same engine, same hull manufacturing method (sprayed fiberglass), fiberglass deck inside, same components and features. It's a lake boat that will get used on weekends 1/2 - 2/3 of the year.
