mike it,s not personal ,,I just hate to see all this ,,as for ther bottoms of these boats EVERYONE of these boats have been changed,,ie,,strakes,,widend,,narrowed,,,shortened,,,added,,removed, or all,,,every boat has had sand paper put to it,,,( blueprinting) they are calling it,,even the new fountain was sanded all across the bottom... as for the rest we will just have to wait and see,,maybe we can head it off at the pass,,
