Steve, I have been doing lots of reading and researching about these types of boats, and many people say that the ride is just too rough. Then there are others who say that the protection of the pilot house is worth the rough ride. I like keeping my kidney's in tact, so finding a boat that has both a deeper V and a pilot house would be ideal! So far parker seems to have the deepest V at 21 degrees. C-hawk, and May-craft boats all have around a 15-16 degree dead rise.
There is a Parker dealer in Stuart and I am going to go take a test ride either next week or the week after. Ill let you know how it goes. I am also going to stop by the twin vee factory in Fort Pierce and get some prices and maybe take a test ride if possible.
