My Explorer is a nice boat. It is made well, heavy, but solid. It is reasonably maneuverable, but not like the Romany 16. It is appointed with the deck features I prefer. It is not fast, it is not slow. It rolls well, but it doesn't give me the desire or direction to capsize much. If you spend more time in it Mark, you may like it more, or, you may want to consider other designs. Purely up to you. For me it works pretty well. I could just as well be in a Mariner Max and deal with its issues. Either are great choices.
