mate,
I used to fish out of a new 30 odd foot express
quite a few years ago out of the islands in southern florida
and in my humble opinion. . .
1. punching straight into swell sent a lot of vibration on landing (to much) , we were pushing it to test after innitial running in and tuning
2. The gelcoat chipped to easily- I think this is too much hardener or dried too quick this is a half educated guess
the boat had been purchased new to the specs of a weopons purchasing officer for their navy
This was quite a few years ago, I think they started early 80's
I would also strongly suggest these problems have been rectified
if they are still in business today
Target species were, sailfish, mahi, king mackeral, tarpon, cobia, grouper
and was a good platform in varying conditions and backing down in chop was comfortable and dry
felt safe and comfortable 60 miles offshore in the gulf stream, the weather patterns are different there
compared to sydney however which I think overall are harsher offshore
would i buy one - yes
does any of this help - i don't know
