2000 Ventura 18 v. 2002 Ventura 210

Q1: what difference in "ride" would be experienced in a 2002 210 VENTURA compared to a 2000 VENTURA 18?

BACKSTORY
I have a 2000 VENTURA 18 that I love, but when the weather picks up in Vineyard Sound, the ride can be bumpy ride. I would like something that would give me more range and a smoother ride. With this is mind, I've been keeping my eye out for a Ventura 210. I found a 2002 in good condition.

Q2: is the hull of a 2002 210 Ventura 210 the same hull as used on an OUTRAGE of 21-foot length?

I can't find any specifications for the deadrise for [any of the several hulls mentioned above].

Trying to get a "smoother" "ride" with a three-foot hull length increase is probably not going to be a particularly amazing improvement, but there will be some change for the better.

Generally "ride" improves with length and with higher length-to-beam ratio.
