It's a nice boat and I've been in some wicked conditions with it crossing the broads trying to get to my place. Get tossed around pretty badly and have to be extremely careful. It makes it across, but given my druthers I'd much rather have the 23' model
If I'd known then what I know now and I couldn't get a larger boat I would have rather purchased a Cape Island Trawler from Retromarine.
