More Important that boat size, is how well equipped and trained you are the boat are. You WILL need: all USCG safety equipment VHF radio with good antenna VHF portable independent of boat electrical system secondary fuel supply (spare 5 gals is sufficient ? ) The chop can be handled by adjusting speed or by staying in port when the waves kick up.

I have no plans to try this on the 18' I have now, but what would anyone recommend for a good "sea worthy" size for a boat to stand up to the chop? Right now I'm looking at upgrading to a Sea Ray sun Deck (260 horse, 24 ft., 50gal gas tank) thinking that that might be something that can be used around the Islands/The Cape... -j Fog is frequent between the Vineyard and Nantucket. It is one of the places I really am glad to have radar, although I have made the trip quite a few times without it.
