I have watched 5 reviews on this and no one mentions the Bimini top when not in use. I found out that the top down goes forward and you basically have to duck under it in the down position it's in the way. So you must have it up to get the most out of the deck space. That is a bad design in my opinion fix that and this thing is a big winner

Those shocks in the back are actually small trim tabs with shocks built in. I’m assuming they were engineered like that so they wouldn’t sheer off when you launch off 10’ wave . Also the jet has has a trim system . That "plastic stuff " is either 30 or 40 mil. clear vinyl . Again I am assuming that bombardier manufactures their own . Last but not least it’s not a pontoon , I would consider it a tri - hull configuration . I have owned quite a few can -am , sea -doos over the years and they build a great product . I bet no one knows they built m-x bikes in the 70’s .

How is this in tight shallow spots? I'm thinking for spearfishing and snorkeling this might be really good for getting off and on the boat. Looks like you could carry 3 divers and a spotter with ease, and with the range just from your two days of booting around should be more than sufficient for exploring nooks and crannies on small islands etc. Might even be decent for scuba diving if she'll handle swells okay, and cats, or tri-hulls are known for being stable, what was your experience like?
