i brought an old tri hull with pod and 40 johno on back and have been fixing little issues for the last few months and playing around canals, rivers
very stable- me walking side too side she might dip 100 mm
yesterday i took took her out of marloolabar in 20+ knots to see what she would do in waves ,chop etc
i"m totally blown away with the preformance
smooth and comfortable in short sharp chop .7-1 metre
it did slam coming off the back heading directly on into 1 metre steap wave,not bone crushing more noise than anything but at 4000-4500 rpm , i found if i went at a 15-20 degree angle smooth as poo
will not broche in following sea
running at 4500-5000 rpm along short sharp chop ( 1m) again unbelievable
and as a bonsus dry as well , i through i was surpose to get wet
i have owned 9 boats in my live (all glass) up to 5.5 m savage MAKO being the best, but the PREDATOR for its size what a great hull
most Cats and Tris will not broach in a following sea, so that is no real surprise, stability is also no surprise, not too sure about going 4,500 into a 1M chop, but hey you came back from it all, so I guess when it is all said and done if it is stable, goes OK and you like it, then stick with it.
