There's a reason they're called bay liners :-)

Cruel, but fair.

To the OP: You'd be far better off buying a trawler-style boat with a
large, slow-turning diesel and a high bow to deflect and power through
the inevitable seas you'll hit. The Bayliner is strictly coastal, by
which I mean "in sight of land" in anything other than ideal
conditions.

YMMV, of course.

Just out of curiosity, what advice would this group have given to the chap in
about 1948 who crossed the Atlantic in a modified amphibious Jeep? For further
details google "Half Safe" for the story. He made it by the way.
