[QUOTE="raider, post: 226809, member: 353"] Does the nitro 18 ride better than any Lund or Alumnacraft boat you have been in? I’d suspect even the low end fiberglass ride better than top end aluminum boats.[/QUOTE] ya it does... i had a 18' lund and crestliner, and this is much smoother... the bow stays down now and cuts through the waves instead of bouncing over them... i didn't buy it for speed as it has a 150 on it and will top out about 42... i fish 2 fun tournaments every year, and neither for money... if i need to get somewhere earlier i leave earlier... where it really shines for me is the fishing... i drifted sideways for hours in 2 footers and winds from 10 to 15 at van hook yesterday... threw out a 48" drift sock when the wind was the strongest and stayed between .6 and .8 mph all day... i also pulled into the same waves and wind a couple times and ran .6 to 1.5 with the 60" 112 terrova up to a max of 5.5 out of 10 on the i pilot, and the shaft never came out of the water... i couldn't have done that with either of my aluminum boats... a 21 would sure have been nice, but i'm trying to turn 80k into a new glass boat and a used sno bear...
