For those of you who have had the opportunity to try a few of these hulls, which do you feel provides the best ride in moderate chop?

You might be correct there Pete :D

I was thinking that that maybe the tunnel or semi tunnel boats might have a better ride than the pad V boats.

I would think the ride quality of the "V's" would be better than the tunnels. Within the V's, my little VooDoo rides better than my Viper.

I have never personally ridden in a Venus but I wonder how the ride is in them being a little bigger boat.

I would agree with Ron, from some of the pics I see of the Virages, they look to be a great riding boat.

Russ, How well does the v-king beat you up? Hopefully this summer I will be seeing how well the Vulture rides. :up:
