 No comparison - these V20's / V21's to the large deep V cruisers that ride " bow high. "
With these V runabout's,  it's about using the tabs to get the cutting edge into the waves to reduce lift and slam back down -  pounding as it's called.
 Too much tab.........sure....... the bow will ride a bit further down and you'll eventually start taking waves.  It's real easy to feel - running into a chop and just adding a little tab until the boat's riding at the best attitude.
