I loved driving the one I owned, just had to know when conditions were right to go for a spin. I remember you mentioning that you have had a couple 'experiences' on Lake Winnebago. Rest assured that this boat will give you another one if you aren't paying attention to what it tells you. It is definitely not a Lake Winnebago Sunday cruising hull. I took several friends for a ride, I don't think any of them asked to go for another.
    I had to pay close attention when I ran my little 13' Checkmate/650XS. My Winnebago spins are bried lived, ususally late Sunday afternoons after all the walleye idiots are back on shore and the cruiser types are tied up again. This gets a big one off the bucket list. In '71 I kited this thing off a cruiser wake at about 90, amazed yet it came down rightside up I put a for sale sign on it right after that.Figured I had just had my chance - besides girlfreind at the time said either it goes or she goes - by the way the Pioneer Inn is completely gone esxcept for the boat docks.
