The 26' Surfhunter would pretty much address any issues.
Now I would need to hit the lotto to buy one but it's nice to dream. http://huntyachts.com/coastal-series...er/harrier-26/

Hunter 26.......sure has the lines, very pretty......but too pretty to be the hard core fishing rig we're after. Guess I'll have to find a " silent partner " who wants to invest the $ millions, and not care about a profit !! Just make an amazing boat offering. Ha ha.

BG - Physics will not allow humans in a 23ft boat to withstand hours of 4ft chop at any kind of speed. It's just NOT happening. In my opinion, the Regulator 23 isn't anything special. I've fished next to one several times in real rough conditions. The 23 seacraft will do anything the regulator 23 will do. Here's Winn Willards answer Just for you . . . go to 13:23 (Keep in mind you they designed legendary single engine boats like the Conch 27). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-RbCLrN_Sk Also at 7:11 you can see a picture of Gypsy Girl that inspired ray hunt to make a smaller version (aka. Hiliner 222 gypsy).

FYI - Steve Loui who has millions of dollars at his disposal recently spent close to 10 million dollars of Navatek's money (defense contractor - one of steven loui's companies) on this exact task of developing the ultimate small boat deep V. They started with the 25 seacraft seafari hull (26 degree deadrise). After the Navatek SAM project was completed, they made a recreational boat company called seablade.

Shrimp.....perhaps you received my PM on Classic Seacraft....
4' chop....purpose would be to TEST a 23' to a good beating..to sort out any weak points. We that have gone to sea for years know that's not meant for little boats....... Couple of guys I know that run 23' Sceptre's report a nice ride, but teeth jarring in quartering chop. As you likely know, I'm a fan of the original Moesly 21' hull, which I believe would be good platform to re create a new V21'.....or V23' cuddy.
