Real World Use of a 23'

[Blackfin26]

SoBo, This post got me off the sofa and I registered as well. Great site with good advice and people who respond thoughtfully. I've trailered out of Ryder's Cove a bunch of times with a 23 Sailfish (now sold). Pick your days and you'll be fine. As far as heading off Nantucket for a few yellowfin...i'd have a buddy boat and make that trip when the warm water arrives fairly close. I Know several people who have made long runs in poor conditions on inboard 23's. Have to think the outboard version would beat you up a little more. Just make sure you have the skills, equipment (radar a must), and float plan. In pleasant bay are you moored or slipped? Look forward to your posts to come.
