    I test drove one with a 90 merc on the back at the local demo day, it was quite sloppy outside the harbour and the boat handled well ,pretty dry for its size but I still managed to get a face full of water in the guy keeping an eye on me .
    While not hard riding the boat was quite lively and Id say that would settle down a lot once loaded up with all the crap one seems to need to have in a boat.
    90 seemed well powered.
    Moving around the boat while underway did make it lean a bit but not alarmingly so,pretty good at rest.
    Well finished boats with custom options.

    One thing I didn't like or rather it wouldn't suit my fishing was not being able to lock the water out of the underfloor balast....I launch in tidal estuaries a lot and a reasonably low draft is required for that to keep the tow vehicle and the wedding tackle dry.
    stingray and Micky Duck like this.
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.
