High Points

 Tall windshield keeps passengers from

becoming windblown.

 Stowage hatches have soft gaskets that

resist water and eliminate rattling.

 Soft EVA traction mat covers the bow and

stern platforms.

Low Points

 No cover over the positive battery terminal.  Poor access to the fuel-tank sending unit

and hose connections.

 Sharp windshield frame corners look a

little threatening.

Toughest Competitor

 The 20-foot-1-inch Four Winns HD 2 (starting at $47,373 with a Yamaha F200 outboard) has more of a sleek runabout profile, with a wraparound windshield and finished inwales, but it has smaller platforms at the bow and stern, and a 40-gallon fuel capacity.
