Was down Cape this past week,and my friend's next store neighbor had retired the 18' whaler after 20+ years of service. In her spot on the dock I noticed a new 18' Parker CC. After a little small talk I mentioned the new boat, and he told me he was not happy with it. He told me the boat rides hard in 2 footers and bangs. He has played with the trim, and can't seem to get a better ride.

What makes a diffrerence in how a hull rides? I thought Parkers were great riding hulls?

Also for you Seacraft guys how do 20' SF ride ? I am thinking of a project hull, but want something that won't pound.
