Personally, I wouldn't bring a laptop onto a small boat such as the OP
described (21ft?).
============================

I frequently bring a laptop out on my 24 ft cuddy and its never taken
a drop of water. I have good canvas and a solid windshield however,
and my wife has been instructed to close the lid at the first sign of
incoming spray.


It's not so much the water, although there is always that possibility, but
the potential for alot of banging around of the laptop. Next time you're at
the marina look at the size diffference between a 24 and a 21 footer. It's
more than you might think I drive a 20 footer and I am very envious of
the guys with 23+ boats. There also isn't that much room on the smaller
boat for a laptop and several people.
