re: Looking at purchasing a new off shore type 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
