Both Gregors and Klamaths have one problem that you need to be aware of: The boats have a deep V for entry into the waves and a flatter rear end.
When you are going downsea on a quartering entry at planing speed, you are actually sliding on the flat rear section of the boat, but when the nose
enters the wave in front of you, it causes a rapid direction change which is a little unsettling the first time that it happens to you. The Valco
Bayrunner was probably the worst for this happening but Klamaths and Gregors also have this tendency and have to be trimmed carefully.
