[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 478921, member: 15636"] For that - to me - you need deadrise and there's very FEW tins that will give that to you. The old mid-90s vintage Starcraft 16 Fisherman I had gave me 16-degrees of deadrise which is about the max you'll get in boats that size, less it also had a small raised deck at the bow that you'd prefer not to have. However, she'd turn screws for > 40MPH with a 60hp 2-stroke OMC on the stern. I don't see many tins offering deadrise, or it's only at the stern, which is not a real indicator of V performance, as a good V carries all the way down the hull. And it handled chop very well ... [i]less personally I don't think any boat less a larger 23' or > FRP Regulator-like CC with at least 24-degree deadrise and ~3-ton displacement [b][i]really handles any chop well[/i][/b], LOL :lol: ! [/i] For your use, I'd look into Triumph Boats made out of Roplene, not lighter tin boats. The Triumph (used to be the Logic brand) hulls are corrosion-free and practically indestructible! There's a few on my river and they move right out, and are totally impervious to the corrosive effects of saltwater ([i]might not be of concern to you[/i]) and although the deadrise is only 13-degrees at the stern, it's variable along the hull, so that with the displacement weight carries it really well. And ... it has almost a totally flat floor in CC or dual console layouts, as they too have short raised bow sections. [color=#0000FF][b]https://www.triumphboats.com/170-cc.html[/b][/color] [/QUOTE]
