I own this boat. I do agree with you that it broaches very quickly. I have solved this problem, (mostly), by constantly fine tuning my place in the wave. Any sloppiness on my part, (common), will cause a few extra strokes. I live with it. Like your fine fleet, I have no mechanical parts to nurture, though, either.
