Been looking at Boats lately again myself, What I like about the TJ OS models is the deep sides they are using 40"-Alexis, 38"-Luxor, they are deepest sides in their class, altho some obviously won't venture out in a 3 & 6 with anything less than a 30' Boat, others like myself have been out plenty of times in marginal conditions, in a very small Boat, so by comparison the TJ OS would be a great improvement to what I'm used to, it's all relative to what your used to, your comfort level, size Boat...ect, & weather or not the CG will let you out, last time I checked, other than Yourself, the CG is the only ones that can tell you go, or no go, everybody has to decide what their comfort level is, & pick you Crew with a similar comfort level, with that said, I'm currently looking at 22' hardtop OS Boats, & TJ are on the list of pontential up-grades, we all would like to go Bigger, but what can you afford, Tow, Store, Maintain...ect, it's allways a compromise, for me it's 3' itis at this time. :twocents:
