I've been real happy with the boat so far. The A4 on mine shows no signs that it has ever been apart. It's a little cold natured when the Temps hit the low 50s and below but not terribly so. It was rigged pretty much like it came from the builder. I've added the hardware to run everything to the cockpit, updated the main winches and redone some of the electrical (with more to do). It'll never be finished or perfect but what boat ever is?
