"Pro-Angler" & "Venture" hulls vs...

[Wood Zeppelin]

For the people who have experienced the Pro-Angler C-dory's, how do they compare the the flat hull C-dorys?

I'm mostly asking about the Pro-Angler. But wondering if the "Venture" C-dory hulls are similar enough to the pro-angler to says they perform about the same? (Since there are probably more of you with "Venture" experience...)

It looks like the pro angler has a deeper V Maybe 12 degrees or so I saw one in person at the old Auburn factory when I was based in Seattle back in the 80s The CC 23 venture or CD Venture have a 5-6 degree dead rise I think the Proangler might ride a
Little better in short chop .I don’t know how many of pro -Anglers they made . The Venture would be easier to find also the Venture gives a very nice ride if you learn to slow down 10-12 mph Good luck in your quest Jim W

I wouldn't expect a dramatic difference as you can only do so much with a 20-22 foot boat. If you want dramatic, this is dramatic....pretty good "v", heavy, very fast, nice wide beam, but still trailerable, and lots of range. You still have to pick your days with it, but you'd be able to do it.
