A 24' or larger performance tri-toon with lifting strakes and a good captain at the helm will keep you dry even on the roughest of days and the ride will be fairly smooth. Anything smaller than 24', performance or not, you will get wet when rough.

Lifting strakes are a must to get up on plane and not just push through the water. In my opinion your wasting your money on a tri-toon unless it has lifting strakes or your in a very secluded area of the lake and do not plan on leaving it.

Just my opinion and your mileage may vary...

Interesting comment on the lifting strakes. I'm taking a premier 220 sunsation out for a test ride on Saturday and was thinking about buying it but maybe I'll try to take one with stakes on it.
