Hey all,
I am looking for a boat for some fun on the water with the family and have narrowed it down to two boats. I'm looking at a 1990 Cobalt Condurre 202 and a 1996 Monterey Montura 196. Now, I know full well that Cobalt takes the cake in the brand-name department. They really do make a great boat. But, what I do need to know is how they do in the water. Any tendency whatsoever to porpoise or be unstable in rough water? Porpoising is really a deal breaker for me, as I frequent Lake Powell, where big waves and bigger wakes are common. I actually sold my previous runabout because it became terribly bouncy in boisterous conditions. Any information you might have to give on these two boats would be a big help. Time is of the essence, as I doubt that either of these boats will sit around for very long, and quick responses are much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
