Maybe. But several have said get in more than 3 foot chop, and the tunnel beats. In fact, someone even said after 3', you're better off in a 22 or 25 going slow. And the TC requires a bigger tow vehicle yet. So again, guess it all depends on the water's you are in and how you use it. In the end, I think you can only learn from your own experience. And know what it would take to keep both you and the admiral happy. But the grass isn't always greener somewhere else.  Colby |

Of Colby's over 3,500 posts here, this is the second time that I agree with him.
That said, get over it.
Cheers!

Unless I've missed it, I think the most obvious answer is don't sell the 22, just buy another, bigger boat! That way, you have the nice big boat with all the accommodations and the little boat to "play." You might need a smaller boat too, just to really stay in touch with the water! Don't forget tenders for the larger boats! And then there's just the little skiff for fishing and tooling around, and of course a sailboat too to be "green"... Just experience talking!!! (There must be a support group for this affliction somewhere, but it isn't this forum!)

This topic can go on for a long time.
Just like the dream.
But it is fun reading about all the different dreams.
I am happy. |

My boat sizes, starting with.......18, 22, 33, 26, 22, 31, 22. Loved them all, every one had something to offer. Nomad was the 5th one.

For me the C-Dory 22 was the perfect fit. NO 2 footitis for me, unless I hit on the lottery this weekend (500M) . . . then,
