I had a 23' Neptune W/A before the present 24' Hydra Sports Vector W/A the Neptune is the same hull as the Hydra Sports 23' W/A sold now I think Sea Horse is the model, in any event I fished around the islands and Buzzards Bay with the 23 and it was fair, did not have the deadrise of the Vector and you can sure tell when the water picks up! If you pick your day you can go in a smaller boat, however if you get caught out there and the sea's pickup say to 3-4' your ride home will suck so bad you will wish you hadn't gone out!! You can never trust the weather man just ask Raider Ron about this past weekend, so you are playing the devil's fiddle everytime you go out in a smaller boat. On the other hand if you had a 20' it would be a breeze to tow it down to P-town and launch somewhere putting yourself pretty close to land at the South end of the bank. It is almost impossible to pick the ideal boat for all scenario's, heck somedays I wish I had a 40 footer in Buzzards Bay with a 20-25 South West and an outgoing tide!!
