This is a retry. Seems my last attempt didnt make it thru cyberspace somehow.
Im in the market for a new boat, and the 2320SL PH is on the short list of competitors.
Heres a couple of questions for Owners of this boat. Ive noticed the height from the floor to the gunnel on the Cockpit of the 2320 is pretty short. Or, I should say, to me it seems short. Out here in the NW, most of our boats have floor to gunnel height of 27-31" and the parkers seems real short in comparison. I know there are the toe rails, but My question is, Do you ever feel like you may fall overboard while fishing in sloppy seas?
as a follow up question its about how this boat feels while adrift. Im comming from a boat that has a 16 degree deadrise, so the deeper V will also feel different to me. Will passangers be holding on like a roller coaster ride with the roll of this boat?
We typically fish 4-6' swells @ 9 seconds, and have 2-3' Windchop on top of them.
Last, tell me about how she turns in tight quarters. At slow speeds, does she turn a tight circle? Im concerned about the bracket. Looks like under the bracket that, that support could act as a wedge and make the boat not want to turn very tight, especially in tight quarters in a marina getting back to a slip...
Thanks for your insight!
Im hoping to get a Demo ride this month, but it will be restricted to inland waters, which will be pretty flat, and no swell compared to the ocean..
