Skip,
You'll have a nice all around surf stick by taking some off the tip and maybe even the butt. I have the 1201L and took about three inches off the tip to make one of my favorite surf sticks that can cast larger plugs and rigged eels. IMO too good a blank to waste as a boat rod. Talk to some builders.
