I live in Jacksonville, FL and do a lot of fishing in the St. Johns River
and its jetties and creeks, using an 8 year old Sea Pro center console
bay
boat, and would like to know how other folks would select boats and
tackle
in similar conditions. I do occasionally get up to 12 miles offshore on
really calm days.

Thanks


Well, I suppose I shouldn't even be posting in this thread, because
I'm already disqualified. I'm a fresh water lake power boater, and I
haven't' fished in about 20 years. Of course, I know that hanging
around with the likes of Shortwave, the fishing absence would come to
an end really quick!

V-hulls and mercruisers.

That's me.

I'll agree with the V-hull, but twin inboard jet drives is the way to go
(is there an outboard get drive?)! Yeeeeee Haaaaaa! g Excellent in the
shallows as well. It might not be built for fishing, but does it very
well.

Yes there are Outboard jets. As to the twim jet drive. This one. Will
plane on one motor and burns 8.3 gallons an hour for both engines combined
at 30 miles per hour.
