Flyfish Friendly Boats?

[northfork]

Have a chance to get a 23' Seacraft CC. Main reason looking at the boat is for the great ride - never been in one, but hear the ride is unmatched. Present boat is a 21 ft Privateer that gets a little wet and uncomfortable on the way back from Montauk Pt to Northfork of LI,NY going into the prevailing west winds. Just got into flyfishing and really enjoy it. The Privateer is a no-frills boat that has a lot of space that makes it easy to fly fish for 2 guys comfortably. Will I be giving up some of that with the Seacraft? It has a t-top, leaning post and a closed transom with an outboard on a bracket. I'm thinking the closed transom will give me adequate room in the stern. Anyone have this configuration and flyfishes? Would like to hear your opinions. Appreciate any help. By the way, this is a great site. Learning a lot about these boats. Really comes across how people love these boats.
