You, sir, would fit well in a Mega Rocker.

No, I think I'm looking for a shorter boat, more manuverable.

I don't know about Jackson, I've heard mixed things about them from the people I boat with.

If you're looking for manuverable a CFS is an awesome boat. Kind of holebait, though.

The Rocker and Mamba are both manuverable. The Habitat is actually a little tricky to turn.

Whatever it is that you decide on, demo it first. Don't waste your time on a boat that you might end up despising.

The Habitat is an awsome boat, so are the Bliss Stick Huka and Mystics,,
Just demo a few and get the one you feel best about.
Hukas are stickier in holes than other bigger boats, but the manuverality makes up for it.

Sure?

The Burn will be an easier transition from a playboat, vs something like the Mega Rocker.
