Default Aluminum boat for rough water trolling

I'm looking for a 17ft aluminum tiller boat for rough water trolling.Currently looking at - Lund Explorer 1700 - Crestliner Fish Hawk 1750 - Prince Craft Pro 179 BXBT.Which one would you think would be the least likely to dig into a wave when trolling?Any recomendations?We troll in some real foul weather and dont mind getting wet, but we would like to keep as much of that BIG wave, as possible, out of the boat.
