I really like mine, and as everybody has said, it fishes great. The only complaint that I have is the ride in the typical tournament morning cross chop. Because they are so wide, and you sit out on the edge of the boat, they rock the driver and passenger when you push them hard in cross chop. In a head-on chop, or following seas, it's great. Some people don't know how to drive them. They like a bunch of trim, and a hydraulic plate really helps in rough water. Drop the plate, and trim it up. I could cure the problem if I could just draw better numbers! Or just slow down a little - nah.

I ran all other types of boats when I was younger, but when I finally got one I realized that they truely made better than any other. As far as speed goes 70 to 73 is what to expect (with a Mercury). A few wil pass you, but you'll pass some as well.
Hope that helps.

Guys, I hate to say this.........but when it comes to waves and chop, a lot of it is the driver, not the boat!

Bill,
Yeah, mine's an 08. I don't think the hulls have changes significantly. The caps have changed a lot. As far as steering out of it, I'm not talking chine walking here, just how the hull reacts to sloppy cross wake water. The only solution is draw better numbers, or slow down. I enjoyed the day as well. Wish we'd have caught bigger fish though... I think I saw your Majek for sale. Going back to fresh?
