The early models where all designed and built as coastal cruisers and even Tony Smith did not recommend using them as blue water passagemakers. It has been some time since I looked at these boats but I thought the 105 was built for open water. I have been aboard two of the 105's a while back and if I was looking for a new or used 35 ft cat in the 90-150k range it would be near the top of the list. I would talk to Tony Smith about it's true ability as a blue water boat if that was your intention.
