It is NOT a big water boat! Due to size alone it is a rough ride in big Havasu chop. That being said, it does VERY well in moderate chop to flat water. It does turn on a dime and will get on plane in an instant. (I will race any 32' DCB to 30mph!)
The layout of the boat is awesome for kids and family and you can't show me a better swim step setup.
Just a nice all-around boat for the money.
