I'm not knocking OL. They have proven themselves to be one of the best.

You seem to be very inquisitive about this particular thread as a new member. What kind of high performance boating experience do you have?
You don't know about Mr. Darr's legendary offshore boating experience???

Hard turns, crazy fast in wicked waves and the boat never did anything odd. In fact I was shocked how well it handled ever type of water and driving was thrown at it.

Mike pushes his stuff hard, very hard and his products are much better for it.

We ran 97 mph with five guys and a ton of gear with stock 600 on the way to the first card stop. In fact i dont think we ever went under 90 the entire time LOL. I know first hand the motors had stock ecu because I watched the merc guys hand them to Mike and we put them in. The hatch never came up again. Oh and we bought crap gas on the lake so I know it was not running a wild tune.

This boat is the real deal and if you rode in one It would change you views of V bottoms forever as it did mine.

How was the ride at slower speeds under 50mph? Has anybody had it out it rough 4's or 5ft swells? Just curious as I haven't read about any reviews in those conditions/speeds.

Let me summarize:

The boat was pushed, they lost control, it rolled.

Very neutral feel, boat never fly's off waves, does not porpise. Ran at Havasu, 100+ miles, was first v to the card stop, ran 80-100mph the entire time, through some very, very sloppy stuff. Its been run in 4-5 and because the CG is setup perfectly, it fly's very well and lands soft, very predictable.
