[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 507750, member: 22613"] While I will agree that it will still be a rough ride, the tall gunnels and pointed nose make a big difference in lessening the chance of stuffing the bow and keeping spray off of the operator (also out of the bilge). Even if you're taking a beating, a heavy chop is much more pleasant with a V hull of any sort vs. a flat bottom. I have never been in a smaller tin boat that actually rode well, they are too light and bob around like a cork no matter the hull design. [/QUOTE]
