20'er's are the best all round bay/ocean,and this depends on how your mind set goes as far going offshore[miles].

semi-v bottom...great stable fishing platform, but will beat you to death in any chop.Easy on gas as it doesn't take allot of power to get it to move and stay on top.

deep-v....cuts chop/slop/white caps like it's even not there, but takes more power to move it.some say they roll more, but I dought you even notice after a few trips.

once you cross the line from a 20' and go to a 23', be warned , you'll need twice the truck to pull it,,much larger trailer, twice the gas use.

I'd stick with a 20'er....deep-v.....after owning 20-23's,semi and deep-v's.

BOAT fish do count.
