I should of said my boat is two feet shorter. 18'. Most of the time time I'm sitting. Not many other hulls will let you sit when it gets choppy.

The ocean really helps my feet. Helps keep me grounded on many levels.If you ever get over to the east coast, give us a ring.

Not sure on the bow falling part but the soft touchdown is in the strakes, look at them, they are not straight and it traps a cushion of air. Plus I do think there is some intangiable I have never been able to pin down. I remember one day in the Gulf that when anchored we took a couple over the bow, thats pretty big even for an 18, but could run in it.

I posted something the other day in the GENERL section of the forum about my "first real Sea Craft experience." This pas sunday I ran out on my neighbors 1984 20 SF and the boat simply BLEW ME AWAY. I've been on many boats before, but this little 20 foot Sea Craft blasted through and inlet of tight 3-4's and fished very comfortably. She acted like a much larger boat. I'll without hesitation say that she rode better in that sea then my 27 Grady White.

Prior to this weekend I never rode on a Sea Craft in anything other then calm bay conditions.

I have a Master Angler I'm restoring and this past weekend really hyped me up.

Like eggsuckingdog said...there was something, well you just can't place your finger on it, but I guess magical about the ride. What was especially impressive was how stable she was drifting...usually boats good in a head and following sea, suck on the drift, and vice-versa, but she did both incredibly well.

I mentioned in my other thread that I hope my MA rides as nice. She's a 78 Potter hull, but I really hope she rides as well.
