Ride quality on 1999 Grady white 263 chase

[johnsonob130]

Hello, interested in purchasing a Grady-White 263 Chase and I have red mixed reviews on the ride quality so wanted to see if I can get some opinions here. It's my understanding that they changed the hull in 99 to give a better ride? The boat I'm looking at has twin 225 four strokes Suzuki's on it so was a little worried about the extra weight in the back and wasn't sure if the water line would be above the scuppers? Any input would be greatly appreciated, thank you

The SeaV2 hull was implement on the 26’ around 1991 or so.

Made some changes to the transom in the late 90’s but nothing of any real consequence from a ride perspective

Scuppers should not be an issue
