Same here, I sold the V and got the OX and I to am very very happy with it! I bought a hard top for it and added trim tabs, as I was told these boats must have trim tabs for best performance!
Well I have been in some crap that I would have banged all the way home in the V and this thing is like riding on a cloud!
Mine is a converted Seadrive with bracket, so I have the full transom. I just really need to save for some good power! I had a 225 Eveinrude but it was old and had many problems. I got a great deal on a fresh water 175 Merc, and that's whats on there right now. It does mid 20's just fine but that said it is the smallest motor I would want on there!! I will up grade when money allows, but till then this will be fine.
