I have gone to Catalina in a 35 Cig about twenty times and out of those I would say only once did I really think we were in deep ****.

Ain't that the truth. As for an ocean boat, I would say as large as you can afford to own, fuel, maintain, and store. As well as trailer. With the trailering in mind I would say 36-40ft. I live in San Diego as well and run my cat out there. But when she starts kicking up the bigger the better. I spent a bunch of years in the SEAL teams, and even our 82ft boats can get real small in the Pacific.

I just bought a 30'. I have ran it in the Ocean a few times and have run out to Catalina. They days have been calm and its been a blast. I found the return run from Catalina to be smoother and an easier ride. It's small enough for the channel in Havasu as well. Fits perfect in my warehouse, I couldn't have a bigger boat for that reason alone. Have fun with your search!!

The smaller the boat, the bigger balls you need and vice versa!!
I've taken my old 15' tri-hull, 65hp Merc, out Manasquan Inlet into the Atlantic. Ran up and down the beach line a bit and came back in.
