barefooter or anyone else:
I demo'ed a new X-45 this past Saturday. Actually two of them. the first had the 8.1 big block and the second the 350 Motor.
I realize this is a relatively big boat, but I am wondering if ALL the X-45's steer so heavy and turn so hard?
Under power, the boat required two hands and considerable effort to turn. While it didn't bother me that much, my wife would be wore out after driving all day! The small block boat was a little better, but still not in the same league (steering wise) as the Tige` we demo'ed.
I was impressed with the build quality and the ride over large wakes.
A couple of weeks ago, when demo'ed the Tige 24v, the boat turned on a dime effortlessly, with just a little harsher ride. I realize the Mastercraft is 650 lbs heavier, thus helping the ride, but expectedly slowing the steering ability.
We are looking to buy/order a boat in the next couple of weeks, and I would appreciate some HONEST info on the steering concerns.
Thanks!
By the way, we are going to check out the Malibu LSV soon as well!
Thanks for the help!!
