Hi spent some time in a 4.5?m JBS. This hull was bought new around 5 years ago so not sure if this same basic design holds still for the 5.5m.
Anyway it was without doubt the hardest riding boat (not counting true punts) that I have ever ridden in and by a long way. I actually found a cavity in my teeth i didnt know i had it jared that hard!!!! no joke).
It was also solid as a rock, mega stable and heavy for its size. If it is the same hull then traveling any distance would be out of the question for me except on the smoothest of days.nq

Make sure you find out how long the wait is from the time you order til the time it's delivered. I looked long and hard and the JBS was on my shortlist in Sept 03 but delivery was quoted as April 04!

Reefmaster's Dad has a JBS cuddy so Reefy would be able to give you some info.
