I would agree these hulls definitly do handle more like a hydro I find that the pond needs to be like glass in order to run safely. I have the 26" el lobo powered by a hacker 8xl on 4s and I am running a x445 modded prop my top gps speed was 56.2. My original set up was an 8l on 3s but even with the smaller motor the hull still handled like crap the v is just to shallow thats why I set it up as a saw set up. This year I decided to pull the motor and stick the hull on the shelf.
