I agree, hull looks good Mart, though it looks a little low in the freeboard to be run in an unprotected cove or bay if run in the salt. Even at 48'', I wouldn't try to run it in Puget Sound. We get swells to over 48'' at times so the boat would probably end up looking like a submarine
Well i ran mine for over a year in some pretty terrible conditions guess how many times i flipped her? ok ill tell you ZERO thats none,stock zenoah running 40 mph or more .If you want to run in large seas then i suggest getting a real boat these things are just toy boats yaknow .Its all good though i couldt give a monkeys wether you think it will or wont handle rough water as i know what i know ,yup i get plenty protective over my boats [sm=punching.gif].One of the best running rough water boats i know is the whhobies enforcer team pro theyre not big boats but they handle plenty,in fact its 46" same as mine .As i keep telling the missus size isnt everything .
