I like it alot. It isn't great at any one thing, but very good at everything (except maybe the dry ride issue). I built 2 Chesapeaks after the CC, and athough they technicly are probably better boats, I like the CC better for it seems to have a lighter feel on the water and I feel is a much better looking boat. I do like the Ches. LT better than the regular one.
