Hey floaters
i currently have a 96 rinker 212, we love the boat but are looking at upgrading. A little more room and hopefully a nicer ride.
we are currently looking at 2 different 24 ish foot bowrider, an 02 searay sundeck and an 06 regal 240 from reading it sounds like the searay is a deep hull ? Both look to be taller and deeper than mine. The wife would really like a smoother ride especially on choppy busy lake days. The rinker tends to land hard.
Anyone have any insight?
Thanks

If you want a nice ride you need a heavy boat, the heavier it is and the deeper the Vee the softer the ride

My Rinker 232 (3800 lb) rides rides pretty good but not as well as my Formula 27PC (10K lbs)

The heavier it is the more fuel burned
