It will never run with a comparable glass boat
 same length and power.My knowledge is gleemed from owning one (extremmely rough ride) and speaking first hand to an owner of a 24' Gravois bayboat. Big difference between a 24' bayboat and a 114' motoryatch.

You owned a Gravois?
I have fished on a 23 Gravois a dozen weekends a year for the past 7 years. The boat rides very good and is as fast as my Triton 240 LTS. My buddy has had ZERO problems with the boat. NONE.

My father in law has a buddy that has a 24' Gravois and I have fished with them out of freshwater city several times........this boat will do what ever a 24' glass boat (ranger, skeetet, SeaPro, etc....) will do in a chop. It seems all of a sudden, saltwater fishing as become a need for speed thing.....

After 9/11, Gravois went to building gov't boats only. Gov't business must be slowing down.
They do make great boats. My brother in laws neighbor had a big 30something ft. offshore center console boat that fished out of Venice a bunch. It was a very nice boat.

I own a Gaudet's, and I can tell you that Aluminum can perform.
Alex was building push boats when I bought so I went Gaudet's. Clint is my friend and one heck of a guy. But back to the boat. She is 24 and half at transom with the gill bracket adding another two feet. She is 9' 10" wide. as for as ride......Raymond..........with all due respect........I totally disagree. I have driven this boat from Deversion canal to Hard Rock and then to Perdido. Never got wet, and the fellows all never spilt a drop of fire water. Speed wise.......the 300 Zuke pushes her 47 carrying 110 gallons of fuel and three people with all fishing gear, and I mean ALL.......I know, not light speed.....but very comfortable. She cruises at 35-36 turning 4200 getting right at 3 miles a gallon. I can tell you her first trip out was to the west delta........with four grown men and our boys from 5 to 13 ......bait well full and enough fruit rollups to choke a mule for the boys......on the way in I passed a 24 Triton, he fell back into our wash...... The Triton handled the chop.....but they were getting soaked. Just my experience.........and I'll admit I am biased.......but we in the Southern US are the ones stuck on glass and plastic.......the Aussie boys been fishing big water Alloy for years....and of course that mirror water in Alaska fishing deserves Alloy as well.... I have been in older Gravois and Breaux crafts that beat the hell out of you........ but that reverse chine boat has lift and rides really well. Be Glad to take you out
