Its wet with a chop, anything over 2'. The hull seems to break the chop too far forward and it throws right at the point where the helm is. Its not a bad riding boat, it doesn't slam. With the 200 your in the middle 30's its not a speed demon, but when running it feels very big. One thing I will give you is the DC set up is great, in fact I want a V-20 DC someday. After fishing with, it is a great layout. You can fix the things I mentioned other than the ride, we re-wired my cousins, this is how I know about the electrical connectors. We removed them all. Seal up the inspection plate in the motor well. The boxes we put a small auto pump. It is a roomy boat. My advice would be to test ride it on a windy day if you could, also get on it and stand in the stern, and see how much water comes into the well. The deck is very solid feeling, and there is allot of storage.
Is the hull Blue? My cousins is blue, and its hard to keep up, but All dark colors are. I know it came in other colors also.
As for the review on the boat, glad I can be helpful. I only comment when I have first hand experience. Hate the "i know a guy, who knew a guy" story's. I have run many many boats, all have there plus and minus, but the one word for that model is wet. We still have allot of fun on it, and it catches fish.
