12 freaking long hours on the boat. The weatherman lied, it was a close 3'-4' chop most of the day. We caught our limit of ARS, but it took a lot longer than we expected. Got a few vermilions, a couple nice mangos, 4 red grouper, 3 scamps, and 8-9 big porgies. Lost several fish to sharks, had to leave one spot, the sharks were getting more fish than we were. I was on a 32' Cape Horn, and was not impressed at all. Not much room behind the leaning post, rolled like crazy in the chop, and about beat us to death coming in. The dang boat would lay over one side while running and stay there until the driver tabbed it down to get it to come back level. I fish pretty regularly with a buddy who has a 36 Cape Horn that doesn't have any of the quirks the 32 has. Plus it has waaaay more room. I did find out that being out that long, and getting you ass kicked while your there isn't fun anymore. I'm not sure what changed..... . But, I'll do it again tomorrow if the chance came up

I had a Cape for awhile. Hard ride and wet as hell in rough seas. Tough boat though.

The 32 is more like a Fountain, skinny and long. It doesn't ride like a Fountain though. Ferris, I used to fish a bunch out of an old style 31' CH. It rode considerably better than the new 32'. Their prices are right up there with Yellow fin, Contender, Sea Vee, and the other top line boats. But with the exception of the 36', I don't think they are worth the $$$$$$.
