i think you could get into trouble trying to categorize handling, you probably should not go in under pre conceived notions. Sure there are basics that follow hull types but each and every boat is different even same make and models. Main thing is to familiarize yourself with your own boat and learn it. Learn it over time and in a controlled manner and stay within your comfort zone. Just my .02 cents

I have run many different hulls and other then general boating guidelines not a whole lot carries over.
