Ohhhh...It handles just fine so long as there are no waves
It will pound some kidneys with any waves so I have to take it slow on rough days. I have really enjoyed this boat though, much better than my previous Bass Tracker. I wanted something reliable, tough, and roomy big enough where the kids could stretch out and nap but small enough to tow and launch easily by myself without fear of getting a few scratches. It sips gas, runs about 38, was in my price range, and does great in shallow water. After nearly 3 years I think this boat ended up being exactly what I was looking for and led me to a few fish as well!
