You gotta look at a Sea Hunt. Clammer owns one. I own one. Driest boats on the water. I have an 18 CC and have been in 6' seas (not intentionally) and stayed dry. Also Yami 4 stroke is the balls. Warwick Cove to Newport and back on less than 3 gallons of gas. 4200 RPMs gives me 21 knots.

No boat, back in the suds.

piemma,
Thanks for the info, Sea Hunt was the other boat I have been looking into, the Triton series either the 20 or 22. I have heard other good things about them. I did take the 21 Sailfish for a test ride in a 3' chop yesterday and didnt get 1 drop of water in the boat, also was very smooth, no pounding and a very soft re-entry. I'm told it is built on a seacraft mold.
Thanks again

You are welcome. Either way you can't go wrong. Best of luck and as the old saying goes "Fair winds and following seas" |

Never rode on one, but I checked them out at the boat show this year, and they are deffinately well put together, and are on my list if I ever get another boat.

Sea Hunt - tough as nails - Clammer has hit everything in Narragansett Bay and it still floats all winter long with 2 feet of accumulated snow 
Dry boat.
The Sailfish does have the Seacraft hull (very closely so anyway) so it should ride awesome. |

Yes wild ride back,but stayed dry.The sea hunt is built tough. But I love the colors of the sailfish hulls.The green would be my choice.
In all I don't think you can go wrong with either.

I fish on a 26'Sailfish every weekend for about 4 years now.
I used to own a 23 Seacraft, and one of the reasons my buddy bought the Sailfish was the running surface.
It's a really good riding boat, well built, I would definately put it on the list if I was buying.
And you can't beat the Yammi 150's, not a single problem.

I have a Key Largo 206 with Yami 150 4 stroke. Hell of a hull, no frills, easy cleanup. Just did a trip south of MV. About 130 miles on 50 gals of gas.
Gets bloody too
