What are you looking to use if for, that is the most important question. As every boat owner here will tell you, every boat is a trade off. Example: i have a 24 foot osprey, drifts like cr$p for cod, and the high profile makes it brutal to dock in a strong wind. That being said, it is awesome for kids (high gunnels) to whale watch on the bank offshore, and you could not bury the bow on this thing in a 14 ft seas. if your a commercial cod jigger the boats blows (although the sea anchor works fine), but if your taking tuna trolling it rocks!
So give some more description to the legion of totally bored fisherman who are dying to help you out, and have made every mistake possible in buying a boat. |
