Not all 22ft "bay boats" are in the same category when talking about ability to operate in less than desirable sea state.

What do you have? How old is the motor?

this ^^^^^^^

side hull and transom depth are the biggest factors to consider if the boat is suited for open water.

also i wouldnt take an older engine out there, even if its been 100% trouble free. if you have an engine issue it takes hours to be towed in after many hours, if at all, hoping to find someone to tow you in.

if you have to call coast guard for a tow its gonna cost you around $15k because you have to pay for that type of service
