Yeah, I saw the CF and it pissed me off.:D
Perfect rig for Catalina, Channel Islands, Coronados, or whatever.
I'm in SD, you inland empire or up near the big valley by strick?

You are not making a mistake, that is a great rig, just need to get your weight distribution dialed in.

The 24 skip jack and 25 Tiara are much larger in comparison to the little 20 seafari. You need to compare oranges to oranges. If you are wanting something that big then I think you should be looking for a 23 sceptre as your perfect fishing rig. The 24 skipjack is for the average Joe that don't know squat about boats over here in Calif. Get something you can blow by the competition when the swell is up...just keep looking strait ahead as you go by them. When you get to the ramp they will walk over to your boat and just stare at it. You will get used to it after a while but you will never get tired tire of it :)
