    I'm curious how the early (1986-1990) 48' Super Sports handle in a breeze while docking. I noticed a similar sized Hatteras has almost 2 feet more draft. Thanks.

    Plenty of torque with DD671's. Plenty of prop response. Good visibility from the helm.

    Not as robust as a Hatteras. I would say more nimble.

    Any competent boat operator should be able to put that Ocean Super Sport wherever they want it.
