i don't own own one(yet) but the dist 1Champion this year does, i race against it all year and how he has it set up it's fast. one thing i learned this year from racing is, you have to set up the boat ( any boat) for it to be competitive. you have to take the boat to the speeds that you want. it's all in the set up. mark Sacken( that's his name) made a few changes to the hull but it VERY competitive chech out namba dist 19 too.
