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.
Ahem ...

Not so fast, there Short Sport.

Occasional wave? I'm talking about hard chop, the kind that makes a flat
bottomed boat bounce pretty continuously, even at slow planing speeds.


Your boat will ride the same as my boat in the same conditions.



Sorry, I don't buy that as a theory. On monohull planing boats, the
boat with more weight, sharper bow entry, and more deadrise will ride
better.

What's your boat weigh sans engine, gear and gas? What's the bow entry
angle? What's the deadrise? What's the beam? These all matter.
