Which one will bounce hard enough in a real chop to loosen your fillings?

The trihull, but it is a bay boat. On the other hand, we were talking
about taking a wave broadside. You got to remember Harry, I am a
low transom guy too, and I ain't skeeret of a little wetfoot, but...

I'm just sayin

When you look at a hull, you also have to take into account bow entry
and how it evolves into the stern.

A properly designed bay boat hull will have a sharp bow entry which
will flare to a a flatter stern somewhere about 2/3s the way down the
length of the hull.

To say that it will "pound" because of the design is silly. All hulls
"pound" at speed depending on the sea state. My Contenders weren't
the most even landing hulls in the world and I seriously doubt the
Parker is any different than those boats were.

On any long run, you are going to use the engine trim angle to adjust
the entry point of the bow into the prevailing sea state to prevent
"pounding". The occasional wake or cross wake that sneaks up on you
will make the boat pound, but that's true for the hull of any
manufacturer.- Hide quoted text -

The tri hull here starts sharper and flattens out about miships. The
Vee, a little further back. I'm just sayin'
