Hull comparisons

Hi
The hull I currently have is a 60 degree entry, variable deadrise, to 18 degree with a pad at the transome.
I am looking at a hull that has a 70 degree entry and 19 degree constant deadrise.
What handling and ride differences can I expect and what differences in fuel burn will I see.
Both hulls are the same length, 29ft , 9'6" beam.
Thanks
ken

Ken, I'd expect to see very little fuel consumption difference between the two hulls, provided that all else is equal aboard the two vessels. The steeper hull would likely burn a little more fuel, but the two sound very similar.
