    Maybe they need to learn to drive.

    Maybe it was the driver---I own one and have no problems. Mine is a 99 Sprint 221 with a Merc. 225 EFI. It runs right at 70 and if driven correctly, it will not beat you to death as Buzzking is trying to say. My boat is a 21 ft boat and it's no Ranger, but it never was inteneded to be either. Plus, it has lasted me through 7 seasons with no major problems. It's a shame they went out of business, because they were decent boats at a decent price.
    Buzzking,
    I have been with people in Rangers and Tritons both that don't know how to drive, especially in rough water and those boats will beat you to death too. It all comes down to the driver and what experience and skill level they have. I run the Ohio River alot and have learned to be careful in rough water and have no problems.

    RE: Maybe they need to learn to drive.

    very true mark, once was with an inexperienced driver and the other time wasn't. I think the big difference is both of the sprints I have ridden in were 17-18 footers. You have a lot more boat and bigger boats are always smoother. I know david pretty well and was just kidding around with him, but I have spent an ample amount of time in just about every type of boat made fishing co-angler deals. At least in the 18 foot range there are boats that ride better than a sprint.
