My opinion, take it as you please,
my first boat was an '07 Malibu XFactor, one fast "stable" boat, fished off it for two years on and off, loved it, then, one time I was caught out in some pretty nasty off shore wind, then I decided I would check out somethin somebody said about Hobie mirage drive, road tested a model in off shores, on purpose, and the boat did extremely well, I am into Hobies but the X factor would definately be the second choice...welcome to the club...b
