Hey guys and gals,
I'm curious to poll the group on small open boat ideas. I am looking for a small 16-20' boat for:
- Short haul shuttling of people and gear in protected waters. Think Brentwood Bay or Bamfield harbour type scenario
- A bit of exploring / beaching in the right weather
- Maybe a bit of salmon and ling fishing in calm conditions
- Something that (responsible) aspiring teenage anglers could get handle
Boats I have looked at so far are Lund SSVs, a Lifetimer (Skiff or Offshore), perhaps an old beater Whaler if such a thing exists. No need for any sort of cover as this will be a fair weather boat. My preference would be for something built here in BC.
Would love to hear your thoughts!
