My 14 foot MirroCraft Deep Fisherman will be starting it's 39th season this year. 6.5 gallon tank w/18 hp Nissan combo pull/electric start 2 stroke. A humminbird Piranha 5 and compass and hand held GPS.

I get two days on the flats out of one tank. One day day along the Elizabeths.

I have been to Cuttyhunk, Circumnavigated Monomy a zillion times, Cape Cod Bay, Narragansett bay, Buzzards Bay just pick your days and go.

One or two guys, perfect. Gas can go to five bucks and I will still be doing what I want to do.

The day of the small boat is geing nearer.

Small boats are fine inshore but just don't get caught in a blow in places like that.


I would like to see a sport fishermen designed around a 40-60' sailing cat. These things have enormous beams and cruise at 20+ and are remarketably stable at lower speed trolling speeds. They just need to reconfigure the cockpit.

Better yet...Check this out! 39' SeaVee with IPS . I got some feedback on performance. 1.7 MPG @ 41 MPH was the sweetspot with a top end of 54. Remember this is a 39' boat.
