Anybody here own one of these?

I have a potential buyer for my Ranger who seems really hot to trot -
we're just negotiating on some minor issues.

I've been looking around and these seem to have some appeal to me for
some reason.

Anybody have any experience with them?
They are great boats for flat water. Don't even think about taking one
into unprotected areas..... they were never designed for it.

They are a great shallow water boat.

I agree. I have seen one (16') upside down in the Estero River from a
boat wake and my friend was on another one (24') coming out of St
James City in the sound that flipped because he got on the side of a
swell.
They seem to do OK until they don't, then it gets bad all of a sudden.

Damn. That's scary! Like Firestones on a '98 Explorer!
