Those with a new deck boat, do you feel that they are still as rough on the chop as the original deck boats? I've test driven equivalent size bowriders and decks and feel that they are pretty similar. I wasn't going faster than 35 because I had my little ones on board with me.

I sound like a broken record, but look at the deadrise angle at transom- it gives you a pretty good idea of how it will handle Winni slop and chop. 24 degrees is about the most you will see. I would not buy a V hull with less than 21 degrees.
Our 26 plus foot Wellcraft is 24 degrees and is a pleasure on sloppy days.
