Chuck,

I recently bought a 1996 Nitro 896 with a 200hp Merc. It is 19'6" long with a 96" beam. My previous boat was a 1990 16' Skeeter, so I think that the 896 rides and handles like a dream. I haven't had it out in extremely rough water, but it handles moderately rough water on the Potomac real well. I think the 896 is a helluva boat and I'm very happy with it. - Don
