As time goes by please report back and let us know your thoughts. I am quite interested. Personally I think you will love it once you get used to it...

Sea trial was in Penobscott Bay... I could feel some slap from the back of the hull but I was trimmed up. I thought that trimming down might work better by putting more of the vee in the water when the lake gets rough... I will certainly experiment!
