I would expect the FasBass to drive and perform very well, with acceleration and top-end that can't be had with any other bass boat and I say that without reservation or apologies... I would fish from one unless you frequent pretty much stump free waters... I don't think the trolling motor mounting area would withstand the stress that running against stumps would put on it, that alot of twist and buckling forces that happen up there... I have a Comp, and I'd say it's marginal to insufficient for a stumpy lake...
