A Nitro is pretty similar. Both boats are good playboats, particularly for front surfing. And both boats are considered slow to accelerate. They even have similar double chines, only the Nitro's are more pronounced.
I have a near new Ovation. One of the last ones made in 03. I am in the deep south so you might not be interested. If you are send me a pm with an email address and I'll send you some pictures.
