I think a major consideration will be gas this coming year. I have a Yami 90 4 stoke and can run back and forth from Warwick Cove to the south end of the Bay 3 times and only will burn 9 or 10 gallons. Gas will be $4 bucks or more per gallon in the Marinas this year. I have a 32 gallon tank and usually stop at a local gas station and fill 2 five gallon cans once a week. This usually fills the boat with a bit left over.
As I pointed out, I can't go to Cutty or the Block and if the bait situation changes in the Bay i might have to go larger to get fish but, for now, I am happy with my 17 1/2 CC Sea Hunt.
