The 24 deg boats will rock a lot more at rest when influenced by waves. If tabbed down too much into "confused" waves they may dig or wander too much. At speed this can be a negative. All boats are trade-offs, the variable deadrise is a compromise in that it rides nice but will be passed by a 24@ boat in the right conditions. It takes more HP to push a 24@ hull. Those are few points and I'm sure others will chime in. Ride all you can in all conditions you can.
