New boat is a Hydrasport.
Big improvement over the blue boat.
Maybe he liked the wide open compared to the center console.

Both boats are cc. He bought the hydrasport sight unseen and put new power on it. He used it twice and realized it was not for him🤷🏽
Very limited deck space.

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Yeah, the problem with Westport is that it's too easy to guess the conditions wrong. You have to estimate BEFORE you go out what you're getting when you come back. If you go out in 3 foot waves and it's up to 6 or 7 a few hours later when you come back, you're SOL.
That's what happened to us when we went around Gooseberry and got clobbered on the way back. So, it's hard to say whether they simply
were too optimistic on the way out as to what they would get on the way in, or they were too confident in their boat handling capabilities.
Have to wait for more info to tell.
