21 footer? That’s a bass boat, not an offshore machine.

You know....there are 21' boats and there are 21' boats.

21' bass boats are made for "BASS FISHING"....!!

21' ocean going boats..are made for "OCEAN FISHING"...!!

You are comparing apples to oranges........................

I was attempting a slight bit of humor.

But make no mistake, there are no sea-worthy 21 footers when seas are over 5 feet. None.

You are right. With the right hull design even a twenty foot boat probably would have been ok. Unfortunately their boat was more of a bass fishing boat than an offshore fishing boat. It wasn't designed for heavy seas.
