Re: WHAT KIND OF CONDITIONS ARE SAFE FOR A 20 CC?

Bayliner- now that's one brand we don't see much out here on Nantucket, even in the summer. rockdoc

Re: WHAT KIND OF CONDITIONS ARE SAFE FOR A 20 CC?
The previous owner of my 20 was caught on film 60miles offshore at Guide Seamount while fishing for albacore in 20knt winds. It's a real short clip . . . hooked on fishing the golden gate Vol 3.

Re: WHAT KIND OF CONDITIONS ARE SAFE FOR A 20 CC?
It's all about what your comfortable with. Besides, it's not much fun fishing when your pitching back and forth and your wire is getting tangled or your getting soaked. It would probably be a day better spent at the local pub talking about all the fish you would have caught!

Re: WHAT KIND OF CONDITIONS ARE SAFE FOR A 20 CC?
I live in Hawaii and 4-6 ft seas with 10-15 knots wind is average on our side.
Been out in seas 8-10 ft and been comfortable with it. Will not hesitate to turn back if I feel uncomfortable with the sea conditions. Have ridden other boats and really appreciate the SeaCraft hull design in rough seas. As a side note,I have had the "we,re gonna need a bigger boat" moment once in my career. THAT was when we had a Pacific Blue Marlin alongside my 20 SeaCraft and the Marlin was three-quarters the length of the boat. The Marlin weighed 1,190 pounds,was 14 ft.long,and had an 8 ft. girth. I DON`T reccomend going after such a fish on a 20 ft.Seacraft but it was a once in lifetime catch and IS possible on a small boat! oceanwarrior
