I love the Nordic Heats - I've had a lot of seat time in a 496HO MCOB the past couple season in calm water, great lakes and poker runs. The Nordic is well built and is a pretty fast/light hull. What I found when running in rough water or chop is you cant expect to beat through the waves, it's a throttle down and hang on kind of ride.
I'm a huge active thunder fan but the 25 tantrum is TINY

They do! I had one and it was a great boat. I do miss having a MCOB.
To the guy who ripped on the sunny and Nordic, ignore him. That's no different than a ford vs Chevy argument. What I will say is the Nordic is a 22 degree dead rise bot versus the sunnys 24. That aspect alone will provide a better ride. The Nordic are nice but I went sunny based on the cabin alone. For where I boat and how I boat I liked the ability to close it down versus the open flow through I had seen on nordics.

I wasn't ripping on anything, just stating the facts. I have owned a 28' MCOB with a 22deg hull for the past 5 years. I know what a rough ride feels like. Had a 27' MCOB before that. My Advantage is huge compared to the 288 Sunny and it is still rough compared to a heavier 24 deg hull.

I have a Nordic Rage, they are really well-built boats, look great, and have an efficient stepped hull. They run some good numbers with modest (or stock) 496 power.
With that said, they are not the best rough water boats, but they make an excellent lake boat. If you're running in anything considerably rough I think you're still going to get beat up in anything in the size range you're looking at

I agree with Island on this.
A 24 degree V will make a noticeable and real difference at the end of a long day.
Where you can notice instantly in a switch from boat to boat is in holding an offshore course against an ocean swell.

You can find some decent 29' single engine Fevers in the 35-40K range.
