These hulls really shine in 3-5s where others can beat the filling out of your teeth. Keep your bow down and Enjoy your day building confidence in your sled and let us know how it goes.

I watched that video...i'm sure you're a real good dude...but.....
no way was that a 5' head sea ! no way !! 2-3' max,that's it...

boat owners have a common mistake:

speed and ride quality,are often exaggerated !

I have a 23 center console - had a 31 Bertram.i can honestly state,the seacraft rode better !
my seacraft - it would NOT run well in a true 5' tight head sea - ANYONE stating anything different is exaggerating -end of story.
a tight 3'-5' sea - with a wave period of 3 - 4 seconds is a tight chop,a long period 3-5' sea,no problem...again,tighten that up,and you've got problems...
