Late to the party, but I'll chime in, I love my Loco, too!

It is taking a little getting used to, after 25 years of 4m -max derived designs (Ultramax -> Batmax -> Stealth and so on). I am still not yet used to shorter boats with bigger volume bows.

It definitely accelerates nicely and handles well. To me it does not seem to need to sink the stern as much as older designs (in other words, no HUGE pivots), which is not necessarily a bad thing.

All in all, a great slalom boat for an old fat guy like me.
