No offense, but some people mistake 2-3' seas for 5-6 footers. I've owned two V20's and while out there, if it kicks up to 5-6' seas, you won't be pouring extra gas into your tank. Even 2-4 footers can be uncomfortable. Please be safe, 25 watt radio, good pfd's (not the West Marine $4.88 specials), extra fuel water separator elements, tools, flares, first aid kit, throw ring or cushion w/ line attached. I run 30-40 miles offshore in a 25' boat (Proline) with a 9 1/2' beam and at 5-6' seas we're coming back to the dock. Again, please be safe. Just my $.02.
