I personally would not use the offshore cruise list as a sign of quality per say! But as a sign that there are certain criteria that are met for offshore work. IE tankage amounts, roll over resistance etc. Just because it is on that list, does not make it the correct boat for you!

As far as the two boats in question, I have heard of them, not seen them, so will not comment there. But I do prefer a boat with speed over a full keel slug of an old shoe style boat! Which I believe the Backfield is more on this line, than the Aloha.
