What kind of boat do you really need? There are lots of knowledgeable people here to help you make that decision. a boat? Hmm We have 7 boats at last count. Think covered plus the boats I work out of in Alaska, we have 7 there too. Oops. Forgot one other boat in AK.. we have 8 boats. How stupid can one get. and I don't even like fishing that much. Prefer shooting and hunting by far. We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

If I ever traded up, that's what it would be - the ultimate fishing platform. Crew all wears Grundens or goes home. No whiners allowed. For now I have to stick with my 25' Grady White. And 18' aluminum river boat. And 12' portabote. Been doing marathon maintenance this winter, and itching to go.

That's my numbers for being comfortable offshore. 32+ Not so much hot on the center consoles no more. Gemme a cabin, head, etc. Once I get out there I figure I might wanna stay for a night or two. Done racing in and out 50 to 60 miles in one day.

I've had a lot of fun and caught a lot of fish with it but it doesn't seem to get used near as much anymore. My wife hates it and wants a more family oriented boat but I'm still in denial that it's time to sell. We've spent a little time with friends on their pontoon boat recently and I must admit they are pretty damn comfortable, though I'm more partial to some of the center console boats others have posted here.

Has 2 bunks/convertible dinette, galley, head with shower, and a huge cockpit. Holds 150 gallons of fuel, enough to fish or dive any of the islands off soCal. On tandem aluminum trailer.
