Great hulls, the best trailerable in my opinion, until the tunnel slap gets to you on the troll in those conditions where you just can't bear off by ten degrees, say when you gotta get back to the bait. Gotta be a slight negative somewhere though I guess! Amazing boat downhill and in chop.
On yours, the turbo will will likely be getting wet, hence the replacement. We also had to replace a cracked tank, starboard side. The compartment was full of fuel. Congrats, great boat. I've only been on one with the Volvo diesel. Served a purpose, but they do genuinely sparkle with some horsepower.
