I've never ridden a McCoy.

Just finished my side cut 5-7 in EPS stringerless
Glasses 4+6 and 6oz
incredibly light and fast- taking some getting used to and build some confidence with as my reflexs are a bit slower than the board
as it feels slippery but ridiculously fast and turns of the front foot really well

These generic Keels
Flat inside foil,
the tabs needed a slight touch of sandpaper to fit

Good question - I think they might a bit
Ni stringer
The board sort of slingshots with a small amount of pressure
I Really need to set the forward rail so it drive down the line

Early days and havent been game to try anything over chest high on it

Yeah, I find with my twins that unless its a pretty soft take off you have to get that rail set.
