I'll let Grahame provide his own answer about roll and pitch during 
the run from Vancouver to Seattle but when I was out in the same boat 
for a couple of hours in relatively calm conditions in Strait of 
Georgia, the ride was smooth and comfortable and the boat felt great 
in fast turns.

Surfing the big wake of a ferry had us whooping for joy.

I'll have to take another look at the video to see if I can figure 
out what you guys are going on about.

It is a small and light boat, so it may seem lively to some because 
it sure doesn't plod through the water. The Motorcat 29 feels like a 
Miata would in comparison to a Chevy Biscayne.

"Delightful" is the single word I would use to describe the Motorcat 
best. For a small boat, the interior arrangement is amazingly 
spacious and nicely fitted out. Next to it, the TomCat would look 
truly unfinished while a Glacier Bay or ProKat might seem somewhat 
basic.
