They are big cars, do they handle like a boat or do they handle well?

A boat handles better.

Jerry:
I really loved my huge Olds from 1976. It wallowed through dips in the highway and it didn't matter how stiff the shocks were (we had shocks back then, not struts). I found a 1975 Pontiac Grand Ville in a wrecking yard that had the "handling option" (can't remember what they called it) that included a huge front sway bar (1-13/16" I think) and a rear sway bar (like 13/16" or thereaouts). Anyhow, my boat Olds handled almost as good as my 75 TransAm (all things considered). Might solve your problems for a boat.
