I am also kind of partial to Bristols, my second boat was a beaten up caravel that we broght back to life and I was impressed with the over craftsmanship on the boat, especially when compared to our current Hunter...

I can only speak for my 31.1, which has a nice motion and doesn't pound at all. I would imagine the 29.9 is similar, based on the specs and the hull design.
Try posting the question on the Yahoo forum (this is the best of the 3 on Yahoo and Google)
