How does a 2072 style boat ride on the lake?

Hey folks -- I've never ran a big tin boat like the griz 2072 or crestline 2070's etc. on the lake.  I've ridden some smaller jon's on the river, and they beat me to death.  How do they ride in normal, say 1-2ft chop, conditions?  I have a 16ft skeeter and it's time to upgrade in size.  But, I want to have something I can also run in the river so aluminum is the next stop.  I kind of figure getting something like that with a small draft would be the better bet in the river, but I just don't have any experience with them so wanted to ask the folks here who do.  The plan would be a side console, and rig it just like a bass boat, only have twice as much space and 4 times the carrying capacity that I have now.  Looks like the 150 merc on it would push around a big load with no problems.  Any insight?
