How rough? It's better than the production boats of same size, can handle lake chop ok. Wouldn't take mine in the ocean, but can get across Lake Powell's or Mead channels ok with tabs down. Waves out there can get 3'+ & gets you a little wet in the wind. I think the boat is really only 23' + swim deck, so the 25' is kinda misleading. All & all, great boat of the size & can still sort of ski/wakeboard if that's your thing.

What's rough? My 28' Nordic wasn't that great in the chop so I can't see a 25 being that good. My waters are choppy most of the time except the dog days of August. There's other brands that have a deeper entry and transom deadrise that'll do you better if you boat in the chop.

No problem on a gentle little ride to Catalina Island and back at 60+ mph with a skier in tow in 3-4s that day.
Gets air born on occasion but lands nicely

Randy, It was cool seeing you guys over the weekend! Your Rage looks and runs great.

That's the downfall of Pineview, it always gets really choppy in the afternoons. We'll have to check out your lake sometime this summer.
