Diesel inboards would be better for close quarter handling, fuel economy and, (arguably) reliability for long runs. Eisboch |

Eisboch If I were in the market for an offshore fishing boat in that size category, I'd want a heavier boat with twin diesels. Maybe something like this: http://www.badmarine.com/New%20Boats.html The Orca 37, about a third the way down the page. |
