My boat is listed on the Yamaha performance bulletins and the numbers shown are very close to actual. She does roll in a tight chop but does not snap back as bad as other boats I've been on. I overnight often offshore and it can get uncomfortable if the winds and seas kick up while on the drift at night. I only brought the the HS up because of the price point. If money is no object, there are plenty of higher end boats I would go for but to me it's a good mid-tier boat that gets me out there. I'm not a HS dealer so not trying to hock my boat, just is close in size and features to the ones on your A-list that I think is worth a look-see. Good luck.
Hi fishdad, Thanks for the reply on the performance of your HS. I came across one on ebay, I'll attach it below. It doesn't look like a bad price and the seller should be agreeable to something 10% off it. How's it look to you?I'm going to Charleston to look at an 06 Pursuit 3070 tomorrow. If I can't get a deal I'll look at this HS Friday. Fred
