>>160501driven one before. they are nice for bombing around the bay, but they dont have too much in common with a real lobster boat style hull. most lobster boat hulls are displacement hulls or semi-displacement hulls. the hinkly is a planning hull. they cruise at like 20knots i think. maybe more. the joystick control is nice. you can make the boat go sideways useing the jet drive and bowthruster. or just spin in circles in its own length. also a very high end finish throughout. overall i like them but never something i would buy for myself even if i could afford it. i personally want a 32 h&h to have as a tuna/charter/fun boat. i think the 32 is just the right size for that. it can cruise 18 knots all day long. the main reason i like the 32 is it is the smallest h&h boat that can "hide" the engine completely under the deck. osmond beal designs a good boat. he designed the hulls for h&h. i have a 38' wood boat built by osmond. it hadles nicely. when going into waves or chop it feels like its going through a fluffy cloud. very comfortable. it has a 210 cummins and cruises a solid 12 knots. not bad for a heavy wood boat and a small diesel. i've also done some fishing on a 42 h&h and was impressed with how it runs in nasty weather. doesnt matter which way the waves are coming from it runs comfortably anyway. the 42 also went a good 20 knots. there are many other glass hulls being built around maine. youngs brothers, calvin beal, rp, wesmac, lowell brothers, holland, and i'm sure there are many more i'm forgetting. they all have something to offer.
