In my opinion it is all about length of boat and the driver, not the brand of boat.

For all you Cowboy fans I had an Eldocraft "Cliff Harris" special in the late 70's that ran under more waves than it went over.The ride was brutal;but not as bad as my old Glastron-I think it was a 171 with a 115 Johnson.On no wake lakes with a three inch chop a guy could drown from the spray.

I remember my dad having an Eldocraft "Diablo" when I was a kid...we went many a mile fishing out of that old boat. Had an 85 HP Merc on it.

If you got 6ft. waves, you shouldn't be fishing anyway! I've been in them all and I think it all points to the driver.

My 18'6 Sprint. I am sure there are many people that would agree with me on this.

i've only ridden in a couple of other brands of boats, and i cant really say for sure. now if i were to go out one day, ride in several different (but similar size) boats, and ride into the EXACT SAME WAVES, then i might be able to tell ya. otherwise, i dont know. mine rides just fine, for all i know

My old 17'10" Ranger was pretty rough. Although it got me through some messes.
