there prety good the hull
there prety good the hull comes up the sides a fair bit on the insides so fish & hooks wise its not that bad. You have to be a bit more cautious with how you do things & ive banned gaffs from the boat to be on the safe side but the ride quality & how they handle for there size is awesome i havent got the money for a huge boat so this is the next best thing for getting out deep.
With the 30hp it goes alright its rated to take a 40hp but i pulled the motor & everything of my last boat because i split the hull again & im over alli boats glass is much easier to fix. I get 29 knots on the flat water & 20/24 knots out in the ocean when i came back from rotto the other day the breeze was in & i was sitting on 22 knots comfortably but i am saving for a 40 then look out.
Someone asked in the other thred before i managed to deleat it about the rego numbers on the bits of wood i cant find any rubber stick ons for the sides but am looking
