You and me both Powerquest_Baby! LOL But it seems to me these boats were built great and most owners took extremely good care of them.

why is everyone so against the SS model unless you have kids or more then 3 people on the boat??? I see the advantages of the SS vastly exceeding the LS unless there is something I am missing? The LS has a longer sunbed (how often is that used? just more vinyl to keep clean) and longer benches and more cabinet space in the cabin. The cockpit space on the SS is SO much roomier and where you spend 90% of your boating experience, whether its 2 people or 6 people your not sitting on top of each other like you would on the LS. I am not arguing your guys points, just simply want to know what advantages of the LS I am missing??

Depends on usage but for me it is a couple things. LS is faster(not a lot but some) with better COG and rides heavier/softer by breaking the waves farther in the rear and is a little better on ride when it gets rough. The look is too "stubby" up front with the SS and I like a longer bow proportions of the LS....that higher bow rail on the ss has got to go in favor of the lower rail of the LS's. But you are absolutely right for cockpit space, bringing people and spreading out when you get to the sanbar or beach the SS is hands down a better boat to be in/on/around then the LS. Getting there I would rather have the LS.

Points well taken... did not know about the different ride quality although makes sense when you think about it
