I am kicking around the idea of picking up an older Laser hull as a project and am somewhat torn between the LTV and 380 Ray. I realize that difference in bottom design between the two, the LTV being a ModVp style tunnel with a center pod, and the 380 being a pad-vee.
My question more lies with rough water ride and acceleration. Either I plan to set up with two inline buckets, center steer. The boat will be used for fun, no official racing etc (yet!). Which accelerates better given the same power? How about handling typical "lake chop" What kind of speeds with a properly set up 200-225hp motor can be achieved with each?
Thanks
