that's what the gentleman asked - note the words "short" and "steep" ?
this was your reply after you edited it today:
"Since the discussion has gotten beyond Sceptres, I'll descibe a 25 Seafari. Ride is in the same class as the 21. A rare boat, but not nearly as hard to find as the 21. It goes straight into 3-4 in the Gulf Stream with me sitting down and no desire to slow down below my normal cruise of 22-23 knts. At 5 ft, I slow down to 18 knots but still sitting down. I've run with two 30? ft Contender type CCs. They were jumping out of the water every third wave, everybody standing up in the stern, while I'm still sitting down in the middle of the boat. Last trip to Bimini was on the last day of Debbie, wind(on the beam) got up to a solid 25 knts with much higher gusts, seas got up to about 8 ftand breaking hard, lots of heavy spray coming over the bow and not a drop came in the forward hatch. Always felt totally safe and in control. I've run it in fairly large following seas and it acts like it is on rails. By far the best sea boat anywhere near its size that I have ever experienced.

mr greene,being from new jersey,and also being a client of mine,he's asking about short steep chop,like we have in our area...you made a claim,i "called" you on that claim -no one "needs to chill"...if someone asks a question,they deserve a good usefull accurate answer,not a fairy tale - if you ask a question,you want an accurate answer,right ?
no need to get all bent out of shape...
there's a big difference between YOUR definition of "short",and what would apply to owner's in our area...
and i'm still very doubtfull,your boat's able to run the speeds you claimed,in the conditions you described -i know my 23 wouldn't...
as i typed previous:
boat owners rarely give accurate speed and ride information - their observations are usually very "optomistic"...
