The people that want the best trip ever every trip are the ones who drink up $1000 worth of gas each trip.


A friend has a 26' Polar and he asks every weekend (when the swells are right) if anyone wants to go 20-40 miles offshore during snapper season.

4 of us will pitch in $80 or so each to cover gas.

I told him he needs to get his Capt license so we can go out on a Friday evening, limit on Red Snapper, tie up to a rig and drink/chill/sleep for 8 or so hours and limit again early Saturday morning.

Do yourself a favor if you are really interested and get a survey done on it. The biggest problem i see with that boat is the lack of use. 640 hours on a 15 year old boat is not enough. That about 4 offshore trips per year, max.

The hidden issues are the fuel tanks, the engines, and that wiring needs to be blown up.

I bet he'll take 12 for it.

Also, running a boat offshore, per weekend, I would drop about $1200, that was fuel,oil, bait, ice and replacement tackle.








Still would be breaking the law. To get around that, you have to have two captains on board. A single captain is not suppost to be at the wheel/water more then 12 hours at a time on a charter.
