Default Cigarette Bullet hull

Is the bullet typically viewed as a good hull? How does it handle big water? Just looking for some input.

Great rough water hull for its size and very heavy. They will need about 500hp per side to break 70mph.

Some of them crack in the bulk head behind the rear benchseat in the engine compartment. I don't believe that is too much of a big deal, but I guess it depends on how abused the boat was. Other than that, awesome boats.

They run very flat with very little bow lift. Here on lake Erie they tend to be a littel wet especially in a following sea. Great in the rough. Build like a brick @#$% house.

They will sometimes have some issues up in the corner of the helm too.

Mine always rode with the nose up and landed very soft. Props spinning out. The only time you got wet was in 5-6 ft waves
