Default How does the 283 handle ruff water

Saw the 283 in person over the weekend with twin 300s and double bolster seats with a bench seat. Same one in the classifieds. How do these boats handle ruff water? And how big of a chop are we talking? Really liked the boat but don't know anyone with one.

im not sure if the 283 is the same as my maxxum 281 but me and the wife were on the chesapeake a couple of weeks ago and it had to be atleast 4 fters and as long as i was going fast enough to stay on top of them i was fine. i had to slow down for a friend in a smaller boat and thats when we started getting beat up, as long as we were doing around 40 or so it rode fine. i have two 200's on my maxxum and it doesn't do bad so you should like the 300's.
