I have a 23 foot boat. I fish in some "tight" places where kayakers look at me kind of funny.

I wouldn't be afraid of a bigger boat in the rocks either. I fished out of a 24 foot deep V in the rocks a lot this year. I was more then a little gun shy at first but I eventually settled into all the pocket water I used to fish with a smaller boat. Still, a 21 would probably be more appropriate for scooting amongst the rocks.

In any case be afraid of the fuel docks, not the rocks, as the boat gets bigger...

#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, look at a deeper V as well as a bigger boat if pounding through the Bay is a big concern.

i agree with pete. we fish buzzards bay in a regulator 23 and poke in as tight as i have ever seen anyone else, even the kayaks.

He is looking to sell the boat if you are interested. boat & motors are '95, but he is the most anal person you have ever met and the boat and motors are very very solid. Boat is on dry land in mattapoiset, but can be splashed at any time for a ride.
