The boat has been unreal so far. Tapey (my sheller) and myself think that she's probably the best boat we've ever been in, and that we'd be able to take her out nearly any day in any weather and still feel safe in her. It's so stable and the ride is unbelievable. Been in a few situations now where we've come out of it and just gone "WOW". Have had heaps of comments on it to. Everyone I talk to reckons she looks unreal and I tell them that the performance is also unreal. Oh and I've even had a lot of comments on your trailer too, I tell them it's one of a kind.

Thanks Rob and team for such a great boat, hopefully one day in the not too far future we can do business again. And if you're ever over this way again don't hesitate to give us a call.
