Default Fact or fiction, anothers Seacraft opinion.

I came across the following post on another site,and was slightly angered by it,especially the part about it not being the best for trolling.It was a reply to a question about the seaworthyness of the Seacrafts hull design.I pasted his post below.

Any Opinions ?



Sea Craft

Without a doubt they are a very good rideing boat in a chop and have a loyal following the issue of water through the transom cutout can be resolved. the one thing you dont want to do in a seacraft is get caught broadside in a breaking sea, even a moderate one. Its never a good situation in any boat but many step v and shallow deadrise hulls will slide on the face of the wave and it will push you ahead of the break. a Seacraft because of its bottom configuration will hang in the wave and get rolled up in it. It happens faster than it takes to talk about it. For running off shore and going in or out through a break they are a great boat but if you are going to spend a lot of time trolling or plugging around on the bars I'd consider another boat.
