All boats have their problems. Each person decides what he wants and what he will give up. As for my Outerbanks When it gets squirley, back off the fuel. I operated boats going in all directions and they all have various weakness's. Thats is why the operator needs to counter steer or change course or do what ever it takes to compensate. If I was in a storm, I would rather be on my Outerbanks. Some boats do not drift well, then use a sea anchor to change your position. If the boat rolls, put more weight down low in the bilge area or on deck. Many solutions to problems. Just my opinion.
