| Apparently my thoughts didn't translate to the screen as I typed. The 618 was a great boat. I talked to a lot of people before buying my 2nd 620T. I really wanted a 618(for a lot of reasons) but was repeatedly talked out of it by every person I talked to, because of what I do. Running/operating both boats in similar conditions, literally within hours, I noticed some differences.A little more speed allowed the boat to "bridge" some of the rollers. Put a 115 on the 618 and it gets it done. Please, please, if you run a 618, don't think that i'm belittling your craft. Oh, and for "guest", my reference to "just getting by" was in regards to boat length. If someone is going to spend ALOT of money on a boat and plans on fishing big water ALOT, then a larger boat would probably be a better idea than buying a 17.5 footer. Reasons? Comfort and safety. I should add that the Mertens Power Steering makes a huge difference. Time to go "Camp Out" on Mille Lacs. Hahahahahahahaha. Steve
