I wonder how it would handle 4' to 6' waves on Lake Erie. I will stick with conventional for now. Might consider a hybrid for my next vehicle though.

How would any 25' boat handle those 4-6' waves?

Wonder how you get out of or into shallow water ? They have had these for quite some time but the electric is different.
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.

My Carver has handled them quite well a couple of times. Though not as well as my 1996 Bayliner 2855 Ciera did. That was the best rough water boat I personally have owned. That boat did have a 21* deadrise which helped.
