Since I don't own an Xpress, I have no idea what your link has to do with anything. I own a Triton, with a performance pad hull. Not all Xpress have a pad hull.

If you think the ride of a regular mod V WE and the ride of a pad hull boat are the same, you obviously haven't ridden in a true pad hull tin boat. They ride like a glass boat. Fact. Your Predator has a hull design that is different from their normal line. It may ride somewhat smooth, I have no idea. I've never been in one.
