Please teach me something

I'm truly interested in learning something here, not looking to start a controversy. Both the Reg 23 and the Seacraft 23 (forget about Potter built vs Tracker) are both known for their great ride. The Reg has a 24* deadrise at transom and an 8'3" beam and is a heavy boat relative to others in its size category. The Seacraft, on the other hand, as a 20* variable deadrise hull and has an 8' beam and is a lighter hull.

With vastly different deadrises and weights how are both renowned for their great ride? What makes two different designs each account for a great following due to their rides?

Please educate me.
