29' SeaVee. It was a rough day to say the least. Easy 10' swell with the tide and wind working against one another. Short day after the wife chummed for snapper. I was shocked at: how much time the Opti's on the bracket stayed underwater. I am no longer worried about mine after seeing the water works there. And Just how dry the ride was for the conditions. Not so shocking was how little freeboard there was and how short the gunnels are in the back of the boat.
I am not delusional, There aren't any boats that could make those conditions good for the passengers. We were wet from head to toe mind you. Wind blown spray mainly. Cabin boat would have made a dry ride, otherwise, we should have stayed on the hill. No place for a V-20 IMPO!
