I will let you know after I take one for a ride in a little chop. The fit and finish of the 215 LR sport deck is all that and more than alot of other boat brands I have looked at.

I'm always a little skeptical when I hear such precise comparisons. Lets see..I can go 13% faster with 20% better fuel economy...Compared to What I wonder...?
BTW: "Deadrise" is usually expressed in "Degrees", not as a percentage. A Donzi Classic for example has a 24 degree deadrise. For those not familiar...when looking at the transom, the depth of the "V" is the deadrise compared to a horizontal line across the bottom. A flat bottom would be Zero degrees.
NB
Good Luck with your search.
