I think rating a boats ride is very subjective to start with... I wouldn't necessarily be looking for the boat that rides the best in rough water, as I'm sure they will all get the job done.

I'd be looking for the one with the best fishability under typical conditions I anticipate being in the majority of the time, but can still handle the roughest water I plan on fishing in… 4-5’ with an occasional 6’ rogue.[/QUOTE]

Wow Jerry--looks like there is a submarine about to surface there off the starboard stern!

You noticed the longer than normal distance between the waves too..'....''..'''.............  <<>battle stations<>>

Even though the sea was “just a touch” heavier than my 6’ max, we still felt reasonably safe fishing from a 20’ boat when that picture was taken.  I'm pretty confident that any of the boats you listed would stay afloat no problem too.

However, even though you can discount any boats rides on a day like that, some will certainly fish better than others… provided you don't mind getting your teeth kicked in a little bit in the process.
