Hey all,
I am looking pretty seriously at a '96 Montura 196. It looks to be in great shape, so I'm not too concerned with all that, but what I really need to know are the driving dynamics of the boat. How does it handle in smooth or choppy waters? Does it have the tendency to porpoise or be unsteady at all? Porpoising is a dealbreaker for me, so any experience or thoughts would be much appreciated. Further, this boat probably won't be around for too long, so quick responses are key. Thanks in advance!

I have an 2004 196, it's a great boat. I find it very stable in the chop, it's a pretty deep V hull. I wouldn't worry about porpoising with this boat, if you experience it, it's cause your trimmed incorrectly.
