I always get nervous when someone asks what is the worst conditions a particular boat can handle. I have an 18 and love it. I have found it to be very seaworthy but I still pick my days carefully. The weak link is the low transom. If you get one with a 20" make sure you have a good seal on the deck plate and a splash guard. If I was doing a lot of off shore I would want a 23. There is a picture on Classicseacraft of a 20 sitting next to a 23 (stern shot) and it tells the tale. The 23 looks like it has twice the freeboard that the 20 does. Heck it looks like the 20 would fit inside the 23. The 23 is a MUCH more robust off shore vehicle.
Good luck.
