My boating grounds include the Delaware Bay and Atlantic Ocean. It is true that you have to pick and choose your days, but the 23SE has proven to be very versatille. Great boat to fish from, the kids love the watersports, you are able to nose easily up on the beach to load and unload bodies and supplies.
I have run her off shore with no problems and fished both sides and ends of the bay.
Look forward to seeing the pics.
