We trailer it easily and launch in under 10 minutes. Great for spontaneous weekend trips. Plenty of onboard storage means we can pack gear for diving or fishing without clutter.
If you’re moving up from a small runabout or center console, this is a no-brainer. Simple to rig, straightforward controls, and just the right balance of sporty and family-ready.
I’ve taken the Open 5.5 wakeboarding, fishing, and just cruising with the family—it does everything well. The ride is smooth and stable even with 6+ people onboard. Storage is shockingly spacious.
Very impressed by the build quality. I went with the EVA deck and roll bar—it feels premium and performs like a much larger boat. My only suggestion: add the sundeck for extra comfort.
Fits our whole family of 5 with room to spare! The rear bench is comfy, and the cooler under the seat is super handy. It’s now our go-to boat for beach days and tubing runs.
