yea the makos are great. as far as steering my cat its alittle different but not in a bad way just different. last time we went to the cbbt we had a storm blow in fast off the ocean and fed a cell in the bay which was wicked to watch and we stayed out till the seas got around the 4 to 5 ft mark and we shot in at around 35 nots rollin over the rough waters while the other boats were swamping out.
