Default Re: 23 vs Moesly 21 Ride

Quote:
Just seeking opinions - which hull rides better? The Moesly SeaCraft 21 or one of the Potter 23' configurations?
My use would be to run to projected offshore fishing areas typically 10 to 40 miles then hunt trolling and drop live baits on drift or slow troll.

By better ride I consider soft landings and dry ride cutting into head seas, stability in a mixed up 2 to 3 foot chop as well as maneuverability and control in a following sea.

Also which is more stable at rest or if two or three guys are pulling and gaffing tuna on the same side?



Hands down; the 23'! Particulary if it is a I/O or inboard.
