My buddy that has almost same boat goes off the alantic coast here in fl 26+ miles with out a raido and drunk to boot at night, not a good practice but the boat always comes back with some nice fish on it and we also take it down thru intercoastal canals to go shrimping and we tear it up! 5 gallons of jumbo jumbo shrimp bigger than your hand will give you alot of shrimp dinners. Having a boat is a great thing living by the coast. All you need in the intercoastal is to get just past as far as you can cast from shore in the channel and the fight is on, great shark steaks, or some red snapper, or blackened grouper, maybe a flounder filet with blue crab and shrimp aeafood alfreado with some Cajon seasoning, some clams and oysters, few beers, man you can hook it up! Why pay for fish or clams, crabs, oysters, lobster when you can go get fresh for free!
Thanks guys, it is a good boat for the price for sure, it scoots along at 30mph fully loaded and runs pretty smooth and dry in chopppy water. I haven't taken it out out in the gulf yet, my wife was not an outdoor type till we got together so it's taking time and patience getting her used to being in the boat. She LOVES the no wake zones. JCO I have not heard of scraping the barnicals but, that Will be done when I do get out to fish the causeway. I can't wait to get my wife on a school of slot sized redfish. She has only caught whatever happened by her hook from shore, she just knows if she steps in the salt water jaws will appear and eat her lol. We got under a flock of working gulls and there were monster trout feeding under there, but we learned about propper knots for braided line and leaders, we're ready for them this time though. As far as drinking goes I leave that to my wife, we made a deal a long time ago that I would be the smoker and driver and she could be the drinker and we will get to and from wherever we're going safely and live to party another day lol. not saying I won't have a couple while fishing
