I had a 16 ft. duracraft semi v . I now have a carolina JVX 16. The ride is smother than an aluminum but you got to keep the weight to the back for a drier ride . The worse is in sharp turns with a wind blowing . I don't know how a flat J16 would be but the design of the JVX shoots water out to the side up front and turning into the wind in a chop at speed will blow spray into the boat . I had my duracraft for 10 years and now going on 9 years with my JVX and like the carolina better . Duracraft had to go back to factory twice and rewelded by me 3 times....Carolina just washed and waxed...Both garage kept . Carolina some tuff boats ...The boat is rated for a 60 and I'm running a 70 so that may have something to do with the spray at speed....
