About a year ago I traded my almost-new tin boat for a fixer-upper 681. Spent a bunch of time and elbow grease making it to-new-me and then repowered it. Love it and would never go back! The difference in the way it handles wind and big water is unreal. My aluminum boat's bow had a tendency to act as a kite on windy days and boat control was a constant issue. The 681 is low to the water and the glass hull keeps it really steady in even full-on wind. My only regret is the rock bar my two month old Etec found last weekend... Ouch. Hope the newer lower unit comes soon!
