    looking for a new boat...

    I have looked around a bit but I still have some questions about the haul:

    1. the Catamarans are better for cornering (so more stable) but the Deep-V hauls are better for rough waters (so again more stable?). So witch is actually more stable ?i will be using in rough waters (lake Ontario, where there are real boats passing) and in some calmer waters (almost glass).

    2. I have looked up some boats in both deep-V styled and catamarans.
    Catamarans: ProBoat Miss Geico 29
    ProBoat BlackJack 29
    Genesis OffShore (41.8 inch)
    AquaCraft Moltey Crew (similar to Miss Geico)
    Leaning more towards the miss geico and the blackjack

    Deep-V: ProBoat Impulse 31

    Those are the ones I was looking at

    Speed, not burning up after 30 runs (talking about the Genesis here)and not flipping over (although it is inevitable at some point) are my main criterias.

    If there are any other boats you would suggest, please post the name of it.

    Thank you in advance for all your help!

    Won't have much luck with most of those choices in any more than a few inches of chop, takes a big boat to tolerate the kind of waves I see on Lake Ontario.
    A 6" wave is huge to a 30" boat.
    If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?
