Clarence,
Heave Ho's advice is spot on.
I had a 19' CC for the bay (and Potomac) and it was great in 2 footers or less. I then went to a 21' Hydra Sports CC and it was even better. But frankly, no matter what boat you are in, you are going to rock and roll with 3 footers or more. So...we watch our days.
I now have a 17' deep V Tracker Targa. I use it from DC to the bay (pick good days) and many area rivers and lakes. It is easy to trailer and launch. Plus it gets good gas mileage. The heavier the boat, the better the ride and the deeper hole it will burn in your pocket. If I want to cross the bay now, I generaly hire a guide with 2-3 friends. It all comes out in the wash.
I have a friend who uses Carefree Boat Club and loves it. He kayaks a lot and when he needs a boat, he makes a reservation.
Feel free to reach out if you need more info.
