I'd bet that boat is gonna run it's arse off, especially in a sea. Like a stone skipping across the top of the water. I'm sure it won't beat itself into the next wave coming off of one wave. Between that and the bracket it's gonna reach for the next wave much better and tend to keep that pretty, low freeboard bow at the right attitude for more circumstances. I'd personally almost always rather have a lighter boat and manipulate weight than have one that's inherently more glued to the water. Different boats for different folks.
