i agree on everything mentioned already.

i've got a tiller, 1760GT, so with the smaller motor (tiller rated for 75hp), propping it properly is even more important than with the console/big motor (console rated for 150hp).
i've got mine figured out correctly now, and it gets up quickly and runs like a champ.

i put it through a real test this week, fishing on relatively large lakes every day in winds that averaged 20mph with gusts to 30mph. waves were constant and occasionally big.
this hull is incredibly stable while casting, and slices through large waves very nicely while running.
it's DRY! i had to try to get myself wet (ie., quartering waves into the wind), even when sitting in the tiller position.

it's not just me, i've never had anyone fish with me who hasn't commented on how well it fishes and how dry and smooth it runs.

best features:
smooth, dry ride
lots and lots of bone dry storage
8' rod locker w/tubes
big front casting deck
big rear casting areas
close access to the water ("G" model w/out gunnel cap)
electronics control panel w/pre-wiring
!fishability + drivability!

if you have any more questions, let me know.
my advice is to find a way to get in one and fish out of it for a day - this is the best way to get a "feel" for what you like.
if you're in the south/central part of WI, drop me a line, i'm more than happy to take you out for a day.

also if you have any interest in a tiller model, send me a message. mine will be available at the end of this season.
