Offshore, What Size Boat

[Van]

I go out there all the time in my 21' WA.
I feel safe, but I ALWAYS pick the day.
If its bad, I just go to work !! They love me here.....

Got a full vinyl enclosure if its snotty.
Self draining cockpit/deck, good bow.
Nice reliable 175 gets me home in a hurry if needed.

But....
No tuna joy this year though, and I'm not going out there again.

I have a 23 Sea Ox walk around, hard top and cuddy and love it!

quick decision
size boat
I would factor other things besides length of boat. Will it break down? How much fuel does it hold? Can you communicate to someone out there if you need help? Like mike said, windshield and hard top will keep you dry. I have gone overnight on a 25 walk around cuddy. Weather was good. I have a freind with a 35 Bertram who has come back and said he got the crap wailed out of him all day. Pick your days.

Boat is half the battle, you need to make sure the power is sound, and you have all the right stuff for off shore!
