How does an adventure 208 handle Chesapeake chop

[rorkin]

Having been on 23' boats that did not handle the chop well was wundering about experiences with 208..

i've had 3 gradys,a 204,a 24 offshore and now a 25 trophy pro.i can tell you the 204 rode terrible...it would rattle your teeth out in just about any kind of short chop.the 24 offshore rode a little better,not much,but a little better.the trophy pro rides good,provided it's flat.i fish with my neighbor sometimes,he has a 25 carolina classic,that boat rides amazing :wink: i'm jealous,that's definatley my next boat.

I had a 204 and it did Ok on the Bay but you had to slow down on a lot of summer afternoons to keep from rattling your fillings out.

I then bought the 226 and it rides a heck of a lot better in the slop. On all but the worst days I can run at my normal cruise speeds.

I'm not sure if it's the addtional weight of the 226 or the seav2 hull but the difference is quite noticeable.

Just fine with trim tabs.
