Default ASD's in the rough

So is there any truth in Full Force's assertion that ASD's are at a disadvantage in big water since they are shallower? I had wondered about this before, but haven't seen anyone mention it in all the Arneson discussion threads which generally dont seem to get far beyond the issue of dangerous shallow cleavers. In fact the gentleman who was selling the old cig hull with Arneson's a month or two back had said they stay hooked up more. Just curious as i dream about ASD's one day...

my experience with same boat from bravos and converting to arnesons. The boat hooks better and acts like a longer boat in the rough with the arnesons.

I have surface drives even with the bottom, on boxes, big diameter props. Works just fine in Erie. Not sure what the issue is in rough water with surface drives.... ?

EDIT: they are no.5s, not ASDs, but mounted pretty high for old hull technology. .

I went from TRS drives to Arneson drives on a Cigarette flatdeck 38. The Arnesons work way better in rough water.
