what is the perfect boat?

[ryane7]

i have a 21 foot robalo with 200 honda
i really like the boat but it has about 21" off draft so i have to be very carefull in shallow water which i fish inshore about 45% the rest of the time i fish off shore but ride is a little rough some times i feel safe in 3 foot seas but its just not worth the beating i take and im not getting any younger

so im thinking about a new boat what are yout opinions what would be the perfect boat if money wasnt an option but only can have one boat to fish inshore and offshore and maybe even spend a whole weekend on the boat offshore (cabin)

ps what about a cat vs mono

I guess this would be better titled as dream boat thread....but either way I'd have to got with the 36' or bigger yellowfin. hopefully one day when I'm finished with school, I can actually go buy one.

how can you fish 70+ miles offshore in rough seas in a bay boat?

If you are in a 36ft boat the weirs are the last place you are gonna fish

25' sea champ champion...bad *** boat with a 300 yammy or 350

[fishinpox]

I just bought a 24 triton ltspro love, been fishing offshore it was slick though but I ran in some nasty stuff Friday morning n it was great, only thing I change on it is put a 300 instead of the 250

[ryane7]

i have been looking and i am very interested in something like a 26' cat walk around but i have never ridden in one does any one have any experience in something like this

My boat mechanic has a 26' prokat ... Pretty cool handles the water good. 99% of the guides in Venice run 26' glacier bays

I've been in cats before. Went out in the 26' glacier bay. Took the water ok but rocks a lot and very slow. Also went out in a 36' twinvee it took the water very good but very very slow. The glacier bay was kinda couped. Not a lot of room. I also been out on a 33' contender. Very fast and takes the water awesome. Personally I like the 33' or 36' invincible. Will leave a yellowfin in it's wake. After riding in one of these open center consoles there's no way u could still want a cat. Some of the invincibles top out over 70mph. Wit a cruisin speed about 50 in 2-4s. They're bad.
