[QUOTE="Crazyboat, post: 446721, member: 21552"] In your opening post you made no mention of 3 adults and being at 1,000 lbs. That added to the equation, it will ride somewhat better as the bow will help cut the waves, but it's still not a lot of weight IMO. My current ride is a Seahunt 186, dry weight is 1,600 lbs, with the family, eng. gear and fuel it must be about 3,000 lbs. Anything over 2' waves you feel pretty hard and that's with a 16 degree deadrise and a 55 degree entry up front. Not to mention the boat will take a pounding on rough days. IMO it may have some semblance of a better ride but I would not want to be in that boat on rough days. I had a tin as a kid, on rough ones it was slow going or no going. [/QUOTE]
