Hi Scott,

Tom has a lot great designs, I built the Sea Tour EXP modified to 14'. I use it in the lower Chesapeake Bay, large tidal rivers, small

creeks and occasionally the ocean. It's a great boat, quick, very stable, maneuvers well and handles rough water very well also.

Unless you just want a longer boat I think the Sea Tour 15 EXP would be a very good choice. At normal

cruising speeds it will easily keep up with longer boats........................George
