I would not reccomend a proline for somebody on the atlantic side. Prolines were designed and built here in Homosassa Florida to be used in the Gulf Of Mexico. We have mostly short tight chop over here, so the hulls were designed to deal with it VS large rolling swells like the Atlantic side gets. We had a 231 MANY years back, and it did pretty good in the Gulf, but that sucker scared us a few times in the Keys on the Atlantic side. It always wanted to hold on the top of the chop, then nose dive off hard when it came across instead of ride it down. That ride works very well for the Gulf as it keeps you from slamming on a tight chop, but in swells it resulted in alot of the falling feeling on any larger swells. Just my $.02 based off of the one we had.
