Well, My wife and I are big in to fishing and thought we would try the Ultra out in the ocean. It was pretty interesting! We had a great time and caught about 6 Calicos right out of the breakwater. They tasted great!
Have any of you taken your small boats out in the ocean and if so when and where do you go?
I have a 21 foot stealth with a 377Merc. It ran great.. We flushed it at the launch ramp.

I used to take my 20 spectra jet over to vanc island from vancouver for the past 24 yrs, had the bennett trim tabs installed a long time ago to smooth out choppy rides.Never once missing to flush out afterwards [you couldn't tell if I ever had the boat in saltwater :) ]!

Long Beach has a pretty big breakwater area, I see a lot of 21' or so boats there. If the water is smooth, you can go for a run outside the breakwater and see how it goes. Lots of restaurants, etc in Long Beach to go to by boat.

Which breakwater are you talking about? I used to launch my 20' out of 2nd Street Landing in Long Beach and fish Horseshoe Kelp (about 7+ miles outside of the breakwater) with no problem. On a typical weekend there were plenty of other fishermen around in similiar sized boats.
Try using a beer batter mix with the Calicos next time. Makes killer fish tacos.

I want to take mine out but dont have the gonads. An Ultra in salt water just makes me uncomfortable.
Just thinking of the life span of my HP going down the road. It would be kick ass tho to make a Catalina run!!

Marina Del Ray has a nice big open boat ramp. Also has hook ups to rinse your boat and engine. Just have to bring your own garden hose. Cost 50 cents for about 5 minutes.
When I can, I prefer Cabrillo beach. Just have to get there early. Lots of boats, and very small boat ramp. But the water is less chupy in many areas compared to Marina Del Ray. :D

Take my 20' open bow out of San Diego, Mission beach all the time if conditions are right. Last year got out about 3 miles offshore and water was so flat we made a 15 minute high speed run (50mph) from Pt. Loma to the Mission Bay Channel. It was the smoothest ocean water I've ever seen.
