I'm considering buying a 2520. I have been able to fish out of a 2320 at least a dozen times this summer offshore mostly 35+ miles out. I'd like to get away with the 2520 XL just due to the purchase cost and fuel but realize there will be a ride penalty for offshore use. Since I have zero experience in a 2520 of either deadrise, I just wonder what the difference in ride will be with the 2320 since that's all I have to compare it to. I was always impressed with the 2320 offshore but my last fishing boat was a 20' light weight 15 degree aluminum jet sled with a very far forward helm nicknamed "The Bleeder" by my friends who rode in it describing their urinary tract after a ride in the waves.
Obviously the XLD would be the best choice for offshore use, but this will also be used for a part time bay boat as well. Just fished out of another buddies 23' aluminum flat bottomed sled last weekend, forgot how much I miss the stability of a flat bottom.
