I've spent a lot of time in the 18 Parker. It pounds in chop. Not much deadrise and it just does NOT like the chop kicked up by an afternoon sea breeze off RI.

Safe boat and we always get where we're going, often we get wet though. Incredily fuel effecient and fast (on flat water) with the 115 Yamaha, but how often is it flat off RI?

Deep V or at least semi all the way, unless you like being sent running for cover every time the sea breeze kicks up.
