At trolling speed I thought it was OK and would have no trouble with it myself. Went for a ride and with 4 guys and 2 kids, it was up on the plane fine. As quick up as a 4S? maybe not but more than acceptable. (its not a ski boat). I like it, but the bottom line is the price (north of 80k) means that at this stage it is simply not a practical option for a recreational boat. They said they have sold 50 of them to the Australian navy. The NZ Coast Guard plus the police are having a close look so that at this stage seems to be the target market. With a service life of 10,000 hrs that is not bad. |
