They sit lower in the water allowing (most of the time) a perfect sideways to the wind drift in 15+ MPH winds. Better ride than a comparable Thompson. The 27 and 30fter Sportcraft drift great in a 20MPH wind. The lower sides are a better fit to drift fish using bouncers and casting (why charters use them). If your only trolling, the ride is better in the Sportcraft. The Thompson cabin area is nicer for family friends where you do not get that much area in the Sportcraft. More open area for fishing. Just depends on your wants/needs.
