Change my mind?

Getting a bit serious about taking the plunge as they say.

Leading contender (no pun intended) at this time is a 23 Jones Brothers Cape Fisherman Lite Tackle. Found a 2006 that looks very clean and well cared for, and best of all, just repowered with the 250.

All opinions are welcome. thanks in advance.

I was told they are a wet boat my buddy Brett fishes on one with a friend from work, I can reach out to the guy who owns it and see if he’ll answer any questions. I think his is also 23ft. If fishes BFT in it. Not sure on your fishing style or location


Update I spoke to him he’s is a 20ft not 23. The 23 is what he wants and he say they are not wet boat

Oh I am doing it. Just got to get the boss on board, or at least off the ledge.

Thanks for the input, I have heard dry as well. That might be the Brothers talking. They seem to have a great rep, but it is not a "mixed use" boat. It is a fishing boat, and a fishing boat only.

Sounds perfect to me, and the upgrade to the 250 is captivating.

A friend had one before he went up to a Downeaster. Wow what a nice ride. Built like a tank. He loved his but he wanted more offshore capabillaties.
