good solid hulls mate. The older ones are a bit heavy due to the amount of glass they used in construction but the newer ones are alot lighter. My old man has an older 23 footer hull and its a great sea boat

had one back in the US running a diesel......something about it seemed to drive the billfish and dollies crazy.....he always caught fish when everyone else was getting skunked.  Very nice ride!

Give a nice comfortable ride but have a tendency to lay over when drifting.

thanks guys
i had a look at the boat yesterday, it was dissapointing to note that after a 4 hour drive the boat turned out to be not as described.(basically a piece of s##t)

cheers
