Just my 2 cents here. A close friend of mine used to have an 18 Seacraft many years ago. For personal reasons he had to sell it. Some years later(late 80's), he got back into owning a boat again. He bought a 20' Wellcraft.
By this time I had bought my 85- 18' Seacraft new. Soon after my friend got his Wellcraft, we took one of our many trips to Marquesas. As was usual for the time of year, we were met with 2-3 foot seas near the islands. On the way back, I noticed that he was lagging back a bit in the chop. When we got back home he told me "I'm selling this thing". He bought an 89- 20' Tracker/Seacraft that he said gave him the ride that he was used to.
I did notice that when I was standing on the ground next to his boat and he was walking around in it, the floor was flexing quite a bit and he is no huge guy. It seemed to me that the Tracker was a lighter built boat.
