Venus and Vulture are the same hull. The longer boats handle the waves better. Imo. Bill

Re: Best Riding Hydrostream Hull
My V-King is pretty rough in the moderate chop. It is very light though after the rebuild (no more soggy foam). Strictly flat water for this guy )
Russ may have a bit more mass in his build so might be afforded a cloud like ride in the rough stuff )

Re: Best Riding Hydrostream Hull
As I get older, I fear overlooking a stray cruiser wake in the Viper at 90+ and wrecking.
The Virage is so stable, it gives you piece of mind. I'm putting a 280 on my new one to get the same feel as the little Viper with the 200.

Re: Best Riding Hydrostream Hull
My AE-21 is really good in moderate chop, just need to watch out for those cruiser waves that come out of no where LOL thats when I usually remember I'm not driving a frigging 38 ft scarab LOL
