Noob Question on Offshore Venture

[ashokrags]

Hi All,
I just started boating last year and the V20 is my first boat. So clearly an inexperienced mariner. I have been mostly run around naragansett bay last year. Couple of questions on the V20.

- Is it a good enough boat to run offshore on perhaps a nice day like to Block Island or so? Anyone from around this area?
- Somewhere on THT I read about the V20 in following seas to go SLOW.. what does that actually mean relative to other boats? If i recall correctly that was posted by someone who was a founder of these forums.

- Also i think I followed the discussion here on trim tabs and would that be a necessary requirement to have a good ride offshore.


Apologies if these are rather naive questions and will appreciate any tips, advice, insight that folks might have for me
