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.
