Steep deadrise is a plus. My Regal 2550 has 24 degrees at the transom and rides very nicely in Winnipesaukee chop. In two years of use, I have never had to come off plane due to excessive chop. This includes ocean use too. It slices the waves up with ease.
Speaking of chop, we upgraded from a 21 foot bowrider to our current boat, and the difference in fatigue from chop is huge. With the 21 footer, we never considered two weekend days in a row of boating on Winnipesaukee, we were always exhausted from the first day. We routinely do two, full days in a row now.
