Ran my TR21 on Fork this past Sunday without a second thought...Got a little wet, but having to run perpendicular to 40-50mph gusts will get you sprayed and tax your nerves a bit. Fork can get big in a hurry!

Tr-21 is not a good rough water boat!! The other models like the x2 is. In saying that I love a tr-21 for what they are which is super fast, great fishing platform and the best storage layout. Tr-21 mercury 250 xs 81.6 gps.

You might can find a Skeeter 21i a few years old in that range. 21i's are usually not overly tournament fished are big, and a little heavier than some of the other boats mentioned. I had one for the weekend at Fork a few months ago and it handled the wind great. It's also easy to load and is straightforward to operate.

Tr-21 mercury 250 xs 81.6 gps. I've been on Fork when it was pretty rough out in a TR21 with a good driver hauling the mail and I still had my kidneys when I got out and I was dry enough. I'm sure there are some better ones but the 21 I was in did a good job.

I have been in some Big water and my Bass Cat has done it's job plenty of times. Champion would be my next pick.

No doubt champs r excellent rides in big water. I have owned 3 tritons 1 tr and 2 xs2. When the x2s came out with the fuel tank in the middle they give a champ a run for there money. Keep in mined if u know it is going to blow put some extra gas in the tank. The extra weight makes a big deference.

and fill the wells, the bigger and heavier the bus is the more stability you have.

Get you a good used Champion or Legend. I would personally stay away from a 22' boat. In big swells they sometimes are hard to keep the nose up on.

Champ or Skeeter, i have a 19'6'' Champ with a 200 on it and it performs really well on Amistad amd my buddy has a 18' skeeter and it does well for a small boat. i have ridden in a legend and was impressed but not sure on a price of a used one. you can find a good used champion for a good price.
