Preference of boat style for offshore fishing

[Fisher4life]

Out of curiosity i just waned to see people's preference of boat for offshore fishing.

[seatime]

What about a full cabin, 8 berth and fly-bridge, equipped with buxom blond hostesses. ;)

or a 4m open tinnie to fish offshore,,,,let me think?,,,,I'll fish the shelf in the tinnie. ::) :) :)

Waht about a centre cab, gives you good prtection as well as plenty of room to fish.

[JustOneMore]

Yep, definately centre cab. Gives you some protection on those bad days, and allows the whole boat to become a fishing platform.

Have owned and centre console, half cabin and now the centre cabin. Gives you much more flexiblity.

Centre cab or walk around gives access to anchor without having to introduce salty spray into the cabin.

I ticked centre console cause I have one. But if i had the option, would vote for a centre cab, walk around AND some protection

Personally, getting a li'l longer in the tooth, I find myself swayed towards a little more comfort.
I voted for the half cab.

Some where to lie in comfort when the fish go off the chew, the ability to fry or grill dinner just caught and/or make a cuppa when its cold appeal to me greatly.

I doubt I will ever have a TV or fridge aboard, but a few comforts don't go astray.

I am sure if she floats and has access to instant berley exit points in case of emergency then I will love it! ;D

Youre getting soft mate ;) ;D ;D

What about that beautiful feeling of suncreen and saltwater in your eyes as you charge back home in a summer afternoon N/Easter 8-) 8-) 8-)

Anything over 6m and its a half cab for me. Somewhere to sleep on overnighters, enough room to fish for a couple of guys, dry, and protected.
Anything under 6m and you need the extra fishing space so a centre console or centre cab is the go IMO. :)

[marlinqld]

Rich....why cant you have a TV on board????????? :-[ :-[

[breamking]

6m centre cab and must have twins on the back. ;)

[Angla]

Walkaround is great. Sleep area is great too.

Greg,

Mike,
Didn't say you can't have a TV onboard, just hope I never have time to watch it lol.

Cheers,

Yep Centre Cab all the way. Ample fishing room and great protection.

Wheres the Cuddy?? :)

[Broome_Fisho]

I'm with Marlin-mike, I ticked C/C as well as I have one, but would love to get a centre cab, for the same reason as every one else

[Edencraft]

I would go for the runabout with a bimini and good quality front and side clears, you still get some room up front and you cant beat the fishing space. Just look at the formula 233 and Edencraft 6M offshore.

[Fishing_Freddy]

I've got a half cab as the minister for finance comes out with me at times and lkes to be able to get out of the sun and there is plenty of room for the two of us. We don't get wet on the way home either as it has just that bit more protection.
Ken ;D ;D ;D

[newchum]

I'm with rich on the comfort thing but i like the fishing area of the runabout the old hainesV19R is hard to beat

[Kendall249]

I have owned a half-cab and currently have a centre console (so I voted CC). But my preference would definately be centre cab.

[mark221263]

walk around/centre cab for me, couldn't be happier with my cruise craft outsider!

Great outside and good all rounder with the family days too!
