I borrowed a brand new one for a day last summer. It quickly became the hit of the party and everyone was on it. Certainly handles differently than my boat but I really liked it. I was surprised how well it did in the chop of Meredith Bay. I thought the changing room was very innovative and I think it had 16 cup holders
I think I'm gonna hold out for the version with the 50 inch big screen
Sorry I'm not an owner with extensive experience with a Berkshire but my impression after a day was very good. One of the guys in our neighborhood ordered one and is getting it soon if the ice ever goes out.
