The ride at higher speeds thing is just a factor of the VDR hull design, if I'm just kinda plowing along at 20 I have all the flatter parts in the water, at 24 I'm starting to get to the deeper deadrise and getting flatter parts out of the equation and yes it does smooth right out. Honest you will see a gargantuan difference between a Mako 20 and a 20 SeaCraft, the 20 was not one their best for offshore use, it just hits hard. A friend of mine had one and I swear it must have had 400 lbs of wet foam in it the way it rode, we both had 200 HP on them, just another issue with them at that vintage. Not sure what the Mako's did on their decks, but who cares, your a SeaCraft guy now - welcome aboard Admiral

Your back will appreciate it if you run in any sort of chop or sloppy seas
