I have a Stealth 12 as well as a brand new X Factor. Both are great and extremely stable. Lots of storage room, especially on the X Factor. The Stealth 12 has the live bait tank in front which is very convenient and easily reached. The X Factor also has a live bait tank, but it's a little harder to reach.

My only critisizm of either one is that they are a bit on the heavy side and because of their width, a little on the slow side. Other than that, they're great. Perfect for the bays and for taking on the OEX Mothership trips.

I've yet to try beach launching in either one, but I plan to in the not too distant future.
