had an 01, would buy another in a heartbeat! built like a tank, and had a cabin you could actually sit up in without ducking your head, as far as the ride you have to get some seat time to get use to the way it rides, but once you find the sweet spot it is locked in for just about any water you can find! very rewarding, it really does not like to go slow 30mph and under.
fast boats for their power, also has has high freeboard for it's size.
mine with a 496HO had a best of 73.6 and would run 70 all day long (yes gps)
