I don't know much about the waters down your way, Charles, but 21 ft doesn't seem all that big to me. Of course a lot has to do with the hull design/beam ect. but I know out on the Great Lakes, which for all intents and purposes are inland seas, I'd certainly feel better in a bigger boat than that. The weather is really the main factor here, some days you could paddle a canoe on Lake Ontario, other days I wouldn't go out there in a large boat.

Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.
