Mark,

I have a 12 year old Solstice GT and I still love the boat.  If I had to
replace it I would probably look for a GTS.  I would like to have a GTS
for the increase in performance, but there are days when conditions are
really snotty and I really appreciate the extra beam.

I love the seat.  I have done swim race supports (around Manhattan)
where I am in the boat for up to 11 hours straight and I really
appreciate the seat design.

Best of luck with your new find,

Bill Leonhardt
