I have had H14, N5.2 N5.8 TheMightyHobie18 w/wings and now my second N5.8 which I was glad to get back to. The TheMightyHobie18 seemed sluggish to me compared to the N5.8 IMO. It is a horse and can really drive in heavy wind or chop. It is a little scary to single hand but a beautiful boat to take friends out for a cruise.
