Thanks guys for the kind replies. Hi Keith, Lets meet up since we're close. I have a 15' BW, its a great boat, a little small for three inshore fishing. I'm really starting to look at those 18' SC. They are like looking for a Unicorn out this way, I think the Unicorn may be easier to find. Not wanting bigger than the 18'. I'll start a new thread on my questions and search for one,,,,,,,,,,O'ya,, took the Skippy out for it first open water run last week. Splashed at Bodega Bay and made a 26 mile run up the coast for some Rockfish and Ling cod. A little over 2 mpg running 21-25 knts. Loving the boat, waiting for the tuna to show up now,,,gregg
