We have the same boat only one year older.
We where also impressed with the living space for a boat of its size.
That's what sold us on it. Our first "big" boat lots of room inside without being to large to handle.
So far we are very happy with the Santego.

Love your nice light coloured wood floor.
Thanks
How does it handle in rough waters? I have read some reviews that not so well in 3-4' waves. Guess I'll find out on the sea trial this weekend

Have not really had it out in big waves much but we moved it to a new marina right at the end of the season here in Ontario last year. This was on Lake Simcoe that can get pretty rough. The waves can get quite large and close together. The waves were larger than what I was comfortable with but the boat handled them just fine.

Cool!! Used to go at the beach in Simcoe a lot when I was in the military at Borden
