Skeeters are known for being smooth in rough water, they do have quite a deep V.
interestingly enough, Skeeter is coming out with a new "MX" series this year, targeting the multi-species and muskie market with a casting/bassboat style interior on a semi-deep hull. it'll be interesting to see how it finally looks, but is sure sounds a lot like the very successful Tuffy X-190. taking notes, were they? ;-)

for a mid-size true deep-V, the Tuffy 1760 is a great choice. fishing-focused interior layout and storage for casting and trolling, and a wave-cutting ride that will get you there and back again without beating you up.

here's some cool video of a 1760 playing in the wind and waves...

(would love to embed the video it but it keeps listing "HTML: No" to the side over there and there's not an option to enable it in the Control Panel. Steve???)

as an aside, the X-190 is not a "deep" V, rather a hybrid v-hull somewhere between the flatter bassboat style hulls and the bigwater deep Vs. it's an awesome ride on most any water under the relatively calm conditions of summer and it'll get you into those small shallow lakes too. when compared to true big deep-V hulls, it's a rougher ride and demands more skillful driving when things get rough on big water, but it will get you home safely. it's an awesome combination of fishability (especially for casting muskie baits) and ride that allows you to do a LOT of different applications on a wide range of waters.
