Comments on the 20' Riot. I here they're great no wood,handle chop well. But I've read they are a much scarier ride than a STV. Any input. I know seat time means evry thing but why spend an eternity behind the wheel of something that cannot be tamed? .........Good bad? STV is still around Rapid Craft is not. Molds in Canada anyway I hear. Less stable at high speed or what? More of a hump than a STV? I like the idea of a 4 seater but if I can't put 4 people in it a haul ass down the river........Curious ready to buy something. Help

I think the Riot is a great lake boat , it just takes alot of attention when learning to drive. It handles rough water better than an STV / Mirage. But the trade off is the learning curve !! I know of one that when set up it ran 118 mph !!! If you are the type that thinks you can learn to drive one then by all means ............. buy one , you will not be unhappy !!! It just takes time like any other high strung boat.

PS ........ PM "Bennington" here on the board and tell him Yammer told you to bug him about Riots. He is about the best Riot driver I've seen. His is for sale too ......
