I've been looking for some time for a boat that can both be used in

I've seen bass boats on Michigan and Superior but I won't.
Pontoon? Some kind of modified V?
What else.

I absolutely love mine:

The sides are a little low for Erie. Mine come up to my waist. You'll
never fall out of my Boat, fighting a very large Salmon.



That Key West is a small 18-footer, and light. I wouldn't go more than a
couple of miles offshore in Lake Superior in that boat. A larger Key
West would be a better bet.


Of course, you're afraid of everything.


Did the OP not say 'used in just off shore' areas...'?

Maybe I misinterpreted his words. I've never seen a shallow bottomed boat with
sides that come up to one's waist. But, I suppose such a thing exists. Well, of
course it does, a pontoon boat with a waist high rail. What a dummy I'm becoming
in my past-middle age.
