Bought 2 of them new in June 2004. They did great - really fast takeoff and cruising speed is very comforatble. Engine is fine sounding it is very quiet and really sounds like an electric motor. Full tank of gas lasts about 5 hours of heavy run time. Cruises at 71 - 80 MPH. Pros: Quiet, smooth ride. Several teenage boys tried to roll it over but it rides like a cadillac and won't tip them. Very Powerful, beats everything on the lake.
Cons: More water splash in face probably due weight. Not as aggressive on waves - don't get knocked around and off boat (if you like that feeling).
Love this thing!
