I have been reading and rereading all of the reviews of the 2510xl. All the while I have been looking at the 2510xl and wondering what was wrong with this boat, there are so many negative reviews. Today I took a 2510xl for a ride on lake erie in a 2-3 foot lake. This boat took the head seas at 20 knots or so without the miserable pounding I have read about on this site and others about this boat. I am glad I sea trialed the boat without relying on the opinions of many on the internet.
