Wondering how the 247 handles rough water - anyone have any input?

I read your other post about the MC v. BU, and Like I said before, I don't own this boat but I did ride in one at a demo day where there was some chop. The ride was unbelievable. I also saw an interview with the editor of either powerboat magazine, or wakeboard magazine, I don't remember which one, but both magazines are good, and the editor said that the 247 BU rough water ride was like riding in the most luxurious IO. I guess he liked it too.

I have had alot of hours in a 247 and I can say that it handles the rough water great!! I am on a big lake that gets really bad at time and the 247 did very well.
