Wow. Thanks for all of the responses. Personally, I would give up a few (couple) mph for the quiet ride. I fish a few bodies of water that can get rough at times (Potomac River) so dependablity is a big factor for me as well. I am looking forward to the seeing the Pops Marine lineup at the show (what use to be Bassarama) this weekend. I hope to make one of the “Owners Invitationals” in the near future and hope to be able to contribute to other comments and/or questions in the forum. Good fishing everyone. It will be here before you know it.
