I just bought a 1980 a couple of weeks ago. Had a ‘09 skeeter 20i. I think the boat handles awesome. As good as skeeter,No. it has alot more deck space than a skeeter. But I’m getting 57mph with jackplate. But that’s not why I bought it. I wanted new with a 8 yr warranty. I have no regrets. All you guys complaining about is speed is rediculous. Even with a 200 you aren’t going beat a fiberglass boat with a 250. (Unless it’s a ranger)
