These boats are built tough.  We trial ran ours for a another potential buyer as Hurricane Rita was passing by...we maintained 25kts (30 mph) in solid 6 to 8 foot seas with virtually no pounding!! Try doing that in a mono-hull!   We also held our craft on steady spot, stern to the waves.  With a 12' beam, she turns on a dime by countering the props.   Visit TwinVee's website by clicking on the logo and see their full model line-up. We highly recommend Wefing's Marine in Apalachicola FL.  From the first day there was no pressure, Marc Grove and "Buzz" Gorman made my purchase a pleasurable experience.  After several visits my sale boiled down to just one test drive.  We waited for the worst conditions possible - based on Buzz's advise...the ride is that good.  Wefing's takes care of any needs we've had.  Click on the photo to visit Wefing's.
