FC470 question

I have a shot at buying an FC470. One question I have is how these military based boats ride compared to a recreational boat. Opinions?

What do you define as a recreational boat? Like a bass boat or a traditional inboard ski boat?

While i don't have any experience with a fc470, i did own a MK2 grand raid, which has alot in common with it's bigger brother. They are alot of fun, even though they are a sib.

I’ve operated 470’s for years in the service. I’ve bought and sold them as well on the side. They are a train wreck on your back and organs. Go buy an FC530... you’ll thank me later.
If you want to learn more, PM me with a phone number and we can chat.
