I didn't reply to this initially because I have the same hull, only in a WA. In our part of the country, only masochists (and there are plenty of them) or summer-only fisherman use CC. For what it's worth, I like the hull on the Striper: it's a deep V all the way to the stern and the boat rides well, with no spray on the cabin. But obviously, I don't worry about spray tucked behind my windshield, so can't really speak to the CC.
