I may be biased as I own one and like it. Ride quality is pretty good handles pretty choppy big water nicely, I do use the trim tabs a fair bit. The cuddy cabin is fairly spacious as it has the v berth which extends down into a twin coffin bed on one side( under the dinette). The toilet is in the cuddy which is a draw back and we never use it for that reason as I always just keep the bed set up. No stand up head is one draw back. The dinette dropped into bed mode is a little small for me at 5 11 but literally like 3 inches to small so it will work. Fit and finish is a little cheap on trophy’s but overall a well built boat that can handle big water. It’s very easy to see out of and drive. I really like mine and often dream of other higher end boats but end up liking my layout more. With the right power and electronics package they are a sweet set up. One thing I really like though is having the big igloo cooler on the swimgrid, I then keep a small food cooler on the dog house. This set up is great for overnight with the family. Boat fishes well with 3 to 4 people. 3 adults is perfect. If you pod would be nice if the pod held the cooler also somehow
