Default That Seacraft Ride.

I have a 20'(still waiting for)and I was wondering how nice the ride really is. Dryness, Stability, Vibration, SPEED, etc.

I hear alot about the VDH, Variable Deadrise Hull, and I want to know what it's REALLY like.

Mine is a 1984 20' CenterConsole, with 2003 150 merc. How fast you thinking?

I have a 20SF and my father says the ride is very similiar to his freinds Bertram 20 from the 70's. Hope that helps.

Read the manual in the archives. It talks about quartering head seas . . . it's the only condition where you might feel a little jolt. Just like the manual says roll the boat downwind using trim tabs, so the V is into the waves. Just like butta' the hull is SO nice!!!
