Status: online 		the most stable hull isn't a cat and V for me, it's a 3 point hydro outrigger, I could see her run in 80's and still go like a missile. for your first boat, I'd recommend a cat for more fun, fast and easy to set up.

Status: offline 		The most stable boat by far is a deep vee,it will handle heavy chop,a three point hydro rigger will blow off in a ripple never mind chop.I ran my deep vee stepped hull in all conditions and she handles it great its what they were designed for ,riggers were designed for all out speed on flat water not chopy or windy conditions.

I just built this hull from my own mould

Status: offline 		Question is TOO lacking in specifics ?

I would agree with first poster .... The RIGGER is the most stable platform.
They generally don't rock or twist, don't blow off or stuff .... Just go like stink and turn (RIGHT) on a dime giving back 11 cents change

Now if question had the Stable in ROUGH water attached, the Rigger would be last, and a MONO hull first.

A sport hydro is like a rigger too a point ... They WILL blow off and do weird stuff at the upper speeds which is very close to what a rigger will do (65 - 75 mph with Zenoah power)

Cats will run a slightly less speeds than the hydros, but turn FASTER either right or left !
They will do rougher water than the hydros, but not like a mono does.


Confused yet

Status: offline 		My hydro likes rough water even at 60 mph so it gets even more confusing .Basicly if you want a sports hull for fun in any conditions theres only one and thats the deep vee.Bigger the better ,that said one with lots of freeboard and a true deep vee will handle the rougher stuff.Scott i kinda read between the lines in the question knowing this guy comes from Salford in the UK and knowing our loveley Brittish weather a rigger is OUT of the question in my opinion

Your boats getting faster Martin!!

Craigrobbo:

You do need to be aware of the factors involved, and being in Manchester I assume you will be running at Trafford, so most likely a vee hull will get you the most time on the water with the least drama.

Riggers, hydros and to a lesser extent take a bit more setting up to get them going well. Not to say that vee's do not need a bit of set up - they do.

Have you thought about maybe an FSRV boat?

Status: offline 		Craig most cats dont like chop but there are a few that will handle it,but then again price can be a problem.Theres the falcon cats theyre pretty fast but i wouldnt say they like the chop as such,but they will handle some chop for sure.Where you run how many cats do you see? that should give you a good indication as to what runs best on your water id have thought.If you want a cat id go for a propper offshore type.

Status: offline 		I think a deep vee would be the best for a first boat as you can allways be sure you can run it no matter what the weather,later once you get used to running these boats and setting them up to run well etc then sure go for a cat or as you like hydros why not a hydro.Myself i love the old style thunderboats like the zippkits rockett hydro i have they run in chop too unlike most hydros.I love how they handle in the turns too they just slide round and look so cool,and even with a stock zen guys are getting speeds in the mid to high 50s..
