I've reconsidered this and have decided the soft riding 21 is a better boat for me. When Fr Frank mentioned the G factor I thought of my last 8+ hr each way ride in snotty conditions in search of tuna.
The fishing was great, a Mexican flag jig strike from Striped Marlin at dawn, followed by small yellowfin, a pair of nice yellowtails on bait, then some albacore. After boxing the area for about another hour, the sun came out and so did some nice dorado, and finally some 30# bft on the run home. Pretty dry except for all the blood on the deck.
The ensuing weeks were hell. 9 weeks with barely tolerable sciatic nerve pain result of a long run in a Parker 25 pilot house. Love my Seafari.
Yeah, cold and wet is uncomfortable but it passes quickly. Lower back pain makes even great fishing a chore.
That being said I'll trade a Seavette project for a 21 project. Thanks for your help in this most difficult decision - even you Sandman
