Pros and cons?? McLay boats seem to have a good reputation but finding precious little in the way of comment/review....could be a plus as no negatives lol.

Build quality looks good and the one I viewed had a Merc 115 on the back, so at the lower end of it's rated hp requirement. Appears to be a nice "steady eddie" type of boat.

Anyone had any experience?

Hey Bricker, i own a 1999 560 Fisherman good boat, well built and reliable hull in average weather would recommend them. I have not been in a newer one though.

Thanks for that - took the plunge and bought it so we'll see!! Looks to be well-engineered and finished. 
Still doing WOF remedies to trailer so no chance of putting it through it's paces.
