I have the 8 foot and love it , no issues
like mattaw, wish I had the 12 foot model but IMO they are ugly with the motor 1/3 the way down as compared to the 8
I bought mine at tremblays spring sale , best price at the time by $100 plus the $100 mail in rebate
like mattaw said also 2 of them is much better but with one you get to learn how your boat pivots in the wind and you adjust really a non-issue unless you want it on a dime
