It will work. You will still have to pick your days and if radar isn't installed you need to get one

I would get a boat survey done to make sure there's no other reason they're selling it with 40 hours on it

Yea it will definitely work subscribe to impact weather and pick you days. Definitely have to have radar to look for storms during our summers.But for wahoo and tuna 20-40 mile run will work out of Venice no doubt. I grew up fishing the lump in a 22ft whaler out of Venice marina never had problems.

Again just pick your days 0-2's what you want I don't go anymore unless impact is forecasting it. Just not worth getting beaten up in 2-4,4-6 range. Even in a 44ft boat

Good luck awesome blue water fishery down there.

The fish weather app can help in choosing your days. It also is called sailflow. Its more accurate than NOAA.
