took a ride at the ozarks after a tourny, wow hold on, the turning capabilities at speed was unreal no skipping or feeling loose. we chased a couple cruises for some real rough stuff, not to shabby. was only concern about the console feeling a bit loose. other wise i was pretty happy. the one i rode in was equiped with 250 pro xs hydo plate. acceleration was great nose barely came up and we were gone. enjoy the ride. only wish i had a chance to fish off the boat. maybe next ride.
