That model is a mod-V boat. They all ride like that. Some of the SeaArk boats as well as several others are built on a dead rise hull like the V-Cat, the Blackhawk, etc. Those models do better in rough water than a straight mod-V boat. The true pad hull is a dead rise hull with the pad for lift. It's like the boat is riding on a wakeboard. The smoothness of the ride and the high performance of these hulls CANT BE BEAT for a comfortable ride in ROUGH WATER!!! That's why ALL glass bass boats are built with a pad ride hull. No runners from front to back to turn with, the pad boats turn on the hooks on the side of the pad and have an 18 degree bow rake to slice through the waves instead of POUND through them.
Let me take you for a ride BEFORE you make up your mind.
In the Excel center console boat, you should have picked the 203 or 220 Bay Pro pad hulls for big open water. The Xpress H20 through H24 Bay boats all have pad hulls also, as do many of their Bass and Crappie models.
