i dont know about seafarers being 'wet boats',as i've come back from kiama canyons (27kms) with as big a sea as you'd want to be in with a stiff ne blowing,and being the skipper if anyone was going to get wet it would've been me,and i didn;t have the clears on that day as the weather looked really good,my boat is a seafarer viking with a 115 johno,maybe i have it very well balanced,not saying i've never been wet in it as i have been caught out in the rain in it
