Well, try adding some weight down low if you aren't a motor speed junky. Use sand bags or something.

Well after all of your fine advice, we chose to ignore it. Purchased a beautiful, very clean 2001 X :P Turns out the head was most important. Sure it's a bit snug but like others have said, not going to spend that much time in there!. Also when the Admiral says that's what I want, she gets it.

Thanks folks, we had a very good idea of what we were looking for when shopping. Really looking forward to getting her on the water.

Now just have to find the D a new home so I don't have to hear about having the fleet again :cry:

Im sure she will be very happy with the X.

The big feature for the ladies is a reasonable sized enclosed head and Im not against it when its wet and cold outside myself.

As they say Happy wife, happy life
