Bringing the discussion out of an ad for a particular boat, I have a question about willingness of people to take shoal draft boats offshore. I have a 32-3 with the 5' draft and I know the original owners took it from Annapolis to the Caribbean at least a half dozen times. Obviously, the 32-3 is built like the proverbial tank and I'm aware of people taking the deep keel boats across oceans, such as Christian going to Hawaii from California.
Even so, I'm curious what people's thoughts would be of going offshore would be for us guys with shallow draft boats. Is there much difference? More directly, I'm wondering about getting outside of the Gulfstream before heading south from the Chesapeake to the Bahamas?
Thanks in advance,
