Deck boats, because of their design are apt to slap quite a bit in the chop. I've had a 24' and a 26' Hurricane and they both pounded quite a bit going into moderate chop.
My 25' pontoon tri hull cuts right through it as smooth as can be.
Most passengers, especially woman, don't like to get bounced around out there.
If I were you, I'd go with tri hull or stick with a deep vee.
Wifey will be happy
