any ride will be harsh if you choose to run 4 footers at 3/4 throttle. i've owned a few boats in this and other size classes and i will say this boat is one of the best 20's i've owned, ridden in or fished from. i've had the boat 20 miles offshore and never gave a second thought about getting home. you dock a boat in saltwater for 30 years and you'll surely experience some rot. the real lure of these boats is that there are so many of them, you're sure to find the right one at the right price. for someone looking to get into boating cheap, you wont find a more solid reliable boat for the money. buy with confidence and enjoy.
