I am thinking of buying a 205. Any 205 owners out there who could tell me if they are satisfied? I am concerned about the ride. I have a Glastron GX 185 which bounces us around quite a bit.
Thanks!

Compare the weight of the boat. The heavier boat will stay down in the water a little better and chances are will give you a better ride. I know there are many different variables when it come to ride quality but for me this is one of the easyest ways to tell.

I had the 05 200 sport which was the same boat. Very fast. :)Great in glassy conditions. Fine for me in windy conditions but wife did not like it on plane. She could not read with the bumps. Great boat just not what our family needed so we went to a 260 dancer. More weight better ride.

IMHO not enough engine. We had the 5.0L (?) and it did ok with full boat load.
