Post a boat that will turn
looking for a boat that will turn. all I have ever owned is a gt extremes. been looking at the excel f4.. they got some pretty impressive videos on you tube. just don't want to sacrifice being able to take off in shallow water for being able to turn. but that just maybe the case.. what yall think

You can not buy a boat that will turn better then a round chine.

My tapered chine boat turns really well. The round chine turns the best. I prefer the way the tapered chine drafts compared to the round chine.

If your hunting c atahoulla I would go gtrax or custom...if you do go with an excel make sure its the 5086 .125. I am in alexandria, our local excel dealer only stocks .100 F4 just fyi.

Spoon, my Prodigy turns very well, comparable to a gtrax boat or better. Very satisfied with performance and build quality!

Round chine or skinny .... my 1840 square turns on a dime..... but I don't do much sharp turning in deep water.....shallow water, all boats slide no matter what chine......

Square chine with one crimp pressed in the bottom. Mine turns like a round chine but runs like the square.
