I used to own a 21 footer. Heavy and built like a tank. I can tear up an anvil but couldn't hurt that boat! :-D

There's a long discussion on The Hull Truth about Cape Horns, but it's from 2013 so things might be completely different now.

I have. 2002 22’ Bay Cape Horn, it’s a tank, it will outlast me and probably my children. I added a radio in the console, cutting the hole took 3 blades, the fiberglass was approx 3/8 to 1/2” thick. Cape Horns have gotten better since in my opinion. My boat is super strong but also utilitarian, not fancy or optioned out. The newer ones keep the built like a tank construction but they add more options and features. Also here that for the length, they are much bigger than a lot of other boat makes.

Went on a charter on a 31 with twin 300’s, I think was the size. On the way in the wind had kicked up and we were running in 3-4 footers. Captain had the autopilot on and kicked back in his captains chair. We were running 45-50mph. Best riding boat I have ever been on.
