looking into a single engine offshore boat in the 23-24 ft range to hit the closer rigs and fish the bigger bays in the South Lafourche/Grand Isle area.
1) you don't need anything that big to hit anything in timbilair and raccourci, I do it in a 16 foot flat.
2) if youre hitting near shore rigs, you want something a little bigger and two engines

You don't need 2 engines to hit the close rigs. If you're not going out that far, say <10mi, you don't need multiple engines. You have cell service more often than not, a vhf, electronics. Get a membership to sea tow and it's fine. Would it be nice to have? Absolutely, is it necessary? No. Judging by the original post it sounds like he can do what he wants safely and efficiently in a single engine boat.

Thanks for all the input. Ya'll have given me a lot to consider. Please keep the input coming. I am in no hurry to buy anything so I will be looking and continuing to learn about all the options. My current boat is fine for now. I go out to the close rigs, 10 miles or so, fairly regularly now with my bay boat. I always pick and choose my days since I live so close to the coast so fishing in "any condition" is not a priority. I really like the idea of a hybrid type boat because then I could sell my current boat and use 1 boat for what I do the most.
Thanks again
Thanks again
