I, too, have a 2007 Puma. Ive been running bass boats since 1986 and frankly this is the best riding hull Ive been in. Thats not to say the newer hulls dont ride better. In fact, a friend of mine bought a Couger FTD in 2008 with the newer hull based on a ride and drive in my 07. He was considering an “R” boat but after his experience in my boat he was floored at how well it performed in rough water, handling, fishability and speed. I maintain the 07 hull is a fantastic riding hull that I would put up against any boat on the market. If I were to consider a new Puma it would be based on other factors like the new consoles where your rod tips no longer touch, stainless steel cup holders, better floor drain, built in bow lights with an option for a built in sterm light, better seats, etc but not based on a better ride. Like I said, for what its worth.
