Decided on the 20' for it's versatility. It can fish in 2' of water or 40 miles offshore. I've got friends with big boats if I feel the need to run way offshore in snotty weather. Picked up an '81 MA running and usable boat with 25" transom, original floor scuppers and mostly cosmetic issues and things I want to do "my way" which I suspect is the reason many boats become project boats. Wanted the MA for the higher gunnels and increased rod storage. However I would jump on a 23' 0r 20' Seafari(cool boats) if the price was right and I had the storage space. Just decide what you want, be patient and be ready to buy RIGHT NOW. Have the cash or cashiers check in you pocket when you look at the boat because If you don't the next guy might. A friend from the Keys called Monday about a 23'CC down there for 3K.Just keep looking. Tight Lines, Tarpun
