anything around the size of an abu 6500 will be more than enough reel to get the job done....

BOAT fish do count.

I'm with capesams on this. I think a 6500c3 is more than adequate and won't break the bank.

Best regards,

tell us more about what you want to do with it.
'boat' setup's usually refer to conventional reels.
if you plan to cast more and have less experience with conventional reels maybe you should consider spinning reels.
tons of nice reels out there.

On my boat, it's Speedmaster & Torium.
Torium's a bit pricey though... and heavy.

more info
I have a couple of penn spinning reels 5500 and a shimano stradic so I'm all set on spinning for now.
We do a fair amount of flukin thru the summer and toggin now so I'd like a bottom setup but if I went conventional, I could do both, bottom fish and cast sometimes, right?
I have never used a conventional. Is the 965 conv? Are handles reversable on conv? I fish lefty, most of my guests are righty.
thanks, Jeff
