Anyone have any experience fishing from a mirage classic?

It looks like a pretty sleek boat but definitely doesn't have the storage and deck space of the outback which doesn't bother me as long as its sea worthy.

I have an older Hobie quest, and have seen a lot of Hobie's out there, and haven't seen one that could not handle the salt.  Some of our members do some long range fishing on their Hobie. My quest is 28 inches wide and handles it fine. I am not thrilled with its ability to track, but it is a 2006, so I make allowances.

I have a classic. The lack of storage space and odd shape of the aft space is a hassle, but like you I make allowances.  I was warned by many about potential cracks in the mirage drive well, but I haven't seen any yet...It will be good to see another classic out there...
