re: Being seduced by big water: bay boat to offshore CC

I currently own a 23 bay boat that allows us to bottom fish up to 50 miles on perfect weather occasions and routinely 25 to 30. We got rid of a 28 Pursuit to downsize to the 23. I use the bay boat 100 times more than I ever did the big boat. I live 350 miles from the gulf so the expense of the bigger boat did not make sense for the use we got out of it. We fish 5 to 6 times a year on average with our boat for 3 days at a time, but still charter for tuna at least once a year sometimes twice. We are money ahead doing it that way and it's hard to take your own boat a few times a year and expect to stay on top of tuna. With that said me and my brother have been kicking around the idea of moving up to a 33...Lol
Even if we did move up I don't think my wife will let me get rid of the bay boat, she loves taking it to the river every weekend we can all summer

I also have a buddy with a 31 Contender, to fish 100 miles offshore on his boat costs us about $750 in fuel, bait and ice.
