I own one and it is a good fish, family cruise boat optioned with the rear facing bench seat behind helm. I also got the Yamaha helm master joystick. I have owned boats for most part of my life and did not need the joystick, the wife wanted it so she could pilot confidently. I have ended up using it in those heavy wind/current days and it is nice, also the fish lock via this system enables me to not need a trolling motor for some of my fishing applications. I find the wide beam beneficial and the size is perfect for tight mooring fields and Marinas, but still being big and heavy enough to make travel in moderate seas comfortable as can be expected in a 30 footer.
