I had a v17l back in the day, great boats. I had no issue diving from mine, but needed to add a few accessories for tanks etc.

A reverse strake is a good thing from a dryness perspective.

Im with you old fart, I tend to go slow and steady. I once pushed a $100k glass boat into a big swell offshore of NSW, hit a freak wave and she buried the nose and the wave of water over the top was fun but scary, put some crazing in the middle of the gunwales, nothing structural but learnt my lesson about driving to the condition.

I have no complaints at all about the soft ride in my Buccaneer....but then I always pilot the boat according to the conditions and don't see any sense at all in bashing along for the sake of it.

It's complicated. Has to do with the angle of the strakes relative to the hull and their size.  On the advice of naval architect, I took a strake off my boat (alloy) to improve the ride. The bottom edge of the strake angled downward moving away from the hull.    It should have been flat or rising very slightly.

I can't comment on a bonito, never been on one. 

Used to have a V17ft Haines Hunter (1985).  Great seaworthy little boat and adequately pushed along by a 90HP 2S.  If I hadn't taken up scuba diving, I would still have it.

wouldnt that lend itself to more porpoising? (of course a trim will rectify the issue)

Explain?

It's a generalisation, but the more lift you have, the faster it will arrest the boat's downward momentum when it makes contact with the water, which means a harder landing. That's not to say the buccaneer design is in any way hard riding, since strakes are just one factor. Deadrise and weight are presumably the biggest.

good info mike, we all have so much experience with different boats that its not hard to get quality oil in the boat shed.

im pretty keen on the buccaneer over an old 70s sea nymph.

was bonito a good brand?

living in aus for so long im not so familiar with kiwi built boats.

i really like a reverse chine but these are really strakey which is not a style im familiar with. still got to be softer riding than a tinny right? :-)
