What don't you like about their handling in rough water? What do they do negatively in the rough stuff that soft-chined or multi-chined boats don't do.

I'm not being nit-picky--the only boats I've had in rough water were my Ches 17, and round-hulled plastic bathtubs (Never had a quality soft-chined boat in rough water)
