| I know there isn't a perfect boat, and have proved it to myself a couple of times. The closest I have come is a large Flats Boat. It bass fishes well, handles big water well, and can run close offshore on hand picked days. I will buy another before spring, and was curious if anyone else has tried to find a boat they could do everything in, if so please do tell. What do you consider to be the best "Do it all" boat?

I would consider a bay boat a "do it all boat" because you only draft around 10 to 12 inches of water which is enough to fish most anywhere around here,you can go offshore on most days, there is more freeboard so its more family friendly and you wont get your butt handed to you when its rough like you would in most flats boats.

| I think a small center console {17-19 ft} is a great boat for this area. It has the freeboard to keep you safe if you get caught by a summer squall and gets you thru the pass when it gets nasty. With a four stroke you have a tremendous range. If you want to fish the flats just come inside, use a stickpin so you don't tear up the grass with an anchor, and hop out of the boat and wade. I do love the bayboats {actually fish out of a key west 19ft} but that low freeboard will scare the heck out of you at times.

| The Logic or Triumph CC in 17'. Made of composit material, roplene not fiberglass, very light weight and easy to tow to where you fish. Drafts 6" with a 20" transum, will take moderate seas. Use with 50 - 90 hp 4-stroke.
