If you like the lines of the ME but want it to turn a little faster and be drier you wount hate a prodigy X. If you want to try something with a bit more planing a Nitro will feel loose the first time you try it but will grow on ya, and if you want tight and technical get you a Ledge.

And I think somebody who wants to see you swim (and is probably well under 250 lbs) suggested the Spark! Lots of other good suggestions though, for both current and old designs.

Thanks for the suggestions and advice.

I will add this information to my new to me boat formula.

Hopefully the cash and boats available variables will produce a real solution before the rains come.
