Q1: between a 235 CONQUEST and a 255 CONQUEST, what amount of improvement of the ride occurs in the larger boat?

Please give readers the following data about the two boats you want to compare:
  • length over all
  • beam
  • dry weight
  • hull design
  • model years

Compute and show the length-to-beam ratio for both boats.

Q2: what metric is to be used to quantify the improvement in "ride"?

Virtually none assuming a similar hull design.
