dtuck,
Are you boating between Miami/Ft Lauderdale and the Bahama's ??
63 mile +- trip across the Gulf Stream traveling 5 knots north. Couple that with a prevailing northeast wind in the winter equals some big seas.
IMO for running back and forth down there in beautiful (sometimes windy) weather??? ........the 33 Flowers (built down hull).
Soft riding big 33, ..........nice
2nd choice would be the 33 Crowley Beal (skeg) Another beauty for that trip.
32 footers??
32 H&H, you'd be satisfied with that boat too, just a couple knots slower than the two 33s mentioned above
31s......I'd take the Duffy for that trip 1st, 31 West Bay 2nd
fwiw, Bill D
