I cant add anything to the conversation but the more time I spend in my boat (bought it in May of 2010) the more I am impressed with it. I fish a small 40 boat weekly evening tournament series on a very busy local lake and the water is very rough in all directions. This little boat is a gem! I watch my partner brace and grab the handles when coming up to rough water and the boat just glides right through. When you do get popped up high in the front it sits down oh so soft with zero slap or jar and geniunly rides and fishes much bigger. It requires very little trim to perform. What I mean is from WOT trim (mine likes a couple bumps down from full) to a high speed hard turn or rough water only slight adjustments to the trim is needed. Go for a drive in one and it wont take long to see what we are talking about.
