I have a 20' aluminum boat. When I bought it I had a 21' Cajun Bay Boat but blew the motor on it and got rid of the hull. My boat is great for fishing the marsh or canals but beats me to death any time I try to take on open water. I am looking for a Hybrid sort of Bay Boat. Something that doesn't draw a ton of water and can handle 2'-3' seas and doesn't weigh too much or have too much bow for a trolling motor. I like the idea of a rolled gunwale. I have a tendency to be hard on stuff so quality construction is a must. I don't mind paying for quality but I expect it to take a pounding. I probably should get something like a Gravois or a Guadet, just prefer the ride of a glass boat. I want something that isn't going to be a pain to tow also. I usually make a trip to Cocodrie and a couple trips to BL on my 14 days off, in addition to fishing VBay pretty regularly. There are a lot of factors in the equation I guess. Thats why I am not rushing into anything.
