I can't imagine surfing down the face of a wave, your basic roller/crest in a boat/yacht/trawler that was designed as a floating condo. True most boats sit at idle tied to the dock, Square sterns, small spade rudders, an A/B ratio that acts as a sail and that swell marketing phantom of "fast Trawler", sort of like a virgin prostitute. My 43ft Sutton (never heard of it, I know) 200,000ish logged miles, 5.5 mpg ,no balast (just make the bottom steel plating thicker), hard chine, Bulb Bow/round stern/big rudder, T bar on keel bottom, Looks like a "boat" on the bottom, Presently on the hard in Deale Maryland amoung the 1500 other boats at Herrington Harbor. Just drive around a big boatyard like this and pick out from the bottom up which boat you want to be in deep shit with it you want to do cruising in challenging waters. Perhaps you will have to give up that Queen walkaround bearth in the aft but you won't skew down a wavefront sideways 1966 Westmar autopilot. Taking a brake while our 13yo Labrador Sara slide slowly to the other side.
