Default Flat Bottom Boats

I am considering the purchase of a flat bottom boat and I am looking at Carolina Skiffs, Jones Brothers, or the BayRider. Is the ride considerably better in on over the other. Is one any drier riding than the other. I would imagine them all to be about comparable, but I have no experience with flat bottom boats.

I had a SUNDANCE SKIFF before. Nice boat overall, but it was wet if you got it up on top of the waves. Drop the spead back a little and it was pretty dry, but this probably holds true for all flat bottom skiffs.

Have fished from a Carolina Skiff and it was like walking on a barge....Stable and roomy...Pretty sure that Sundance is close to the same. Carolinas are about as solid built a skiff that you will find IMO....
