CB you talking about the 248's etc.? I have been noticing a lot of them around here. Guys love em.
I got to tell you as much as I love my V, or loved :'( if I was fishing commercially and my regular routine was out of sight of land by a good distance it would not be my boat.
It would be my preference over a lot of other boats in similar size range because for a 20 footer it is probably the best over all design in my opinion. '
But with what I have seen read or heard in my lifetime being multi miles offshore on a daily basis or even just frequently especially in a tough sea area like New England I think a diffrent hull, at least a few feet longer and two engines would be my preference.
Actually it would be something in a 25-30 foot range, the closer to 30 the better.
I know it is a great hull, and very sea worthy but it is a inshore boat that gives you great all around comfort ride and flexability and the ability to run out on good days, even get you back when it all turns to sh!t , but then you are really just rolling the dice if you do it frequently. I like my kids and even the CEO to much for that, h@ll I like Jacky Daniels too much for that ;D
