Reply With QuoteGunslinger, I am from Newbury Park. What motor do you have in the Hondo? Rocker is just that. Think of it like a rocking chair. Hondos don't have alot of it.
Canyon, hondo, cole, the difference being rocker? Still new to the game. Will someone explain what rocker is? As far as the XH-511 hondo being the worst handling of the bunch, as stated by hemeroid, mine handles great. Last wednesday I took it to casitas, first time out. First time driving a flat for that matter. Took my time getting used to the boat. After some time driving around I jumped on it. Even with zero experience in a flat, I was never uncomfortable. Went straight, rode flat, and never pulled left or right. F'ing solid. I know this is not a race boat, but 98mph on gps aint slow either.

They are a good boat, One of the better flat's out there.
Jetboatguru, the hondo has a 427bbc,kinda mild compared to the stuff guys on this post are running. 10.5:1, roller cam, 2 holleys, the usual hot rod crap. Cant wait to fix all the minor stuff that comes with a used boat and bolt in a serious engine. A serious lake engine of course. Ha Ha.
