Every boat is a compromise.

What are your intentions?
I own a 22ft Alumaweld, basicly the same overall lenght. I am comfortable taking my family and friends fishing the Sound, Strait, and CR estuary.
I've talked to a guy fising out of Cathlamet in the Spring and he really likes his'.

His boat is lighter than mine, but we share a common problem. The deck is not self bailing. So, in certain conditions our bilge pumps get a workout.

I believe the extended transom design is good. But, it all depends on where you intend to fish.
