Thanks for the reply!
I do realize a 21' is not an offshore boat. I should have been more clear. It was scary being out there 20+ miles (40 miles from Great Kills) in the Montauk which is why I did not fish and ran in. I would take the chance in a boat with enough fuel to get back if conditions started to go bad. I took the ride and I'm sure it is not a good idea. Its too tempting reading all the reports not to try it.
The Montauk kicks my but anywhere inshore or bay fishing I go. I run from Great Kills to the Hook - but kicked every time. Run to J Bay - but kicked. Launch in Jersey city to fish the river - but kicked by boat wakes. I run 30 mph and always need a spine adjustment when I get home.
I always like the Mako and heard SeaCraft was a good boat. I dont know of their costruction but will find out. I want 19' - 21' this way I can launch and trailer easily on my own. Everyone I know is a fair weather fisherman. It's always too early, too cold, too warm, too far or too long a day for them. I most often fish alone.
Thanks Again!
