I don't drink or take fatties fishin, usually just me and the my 11 year old son and we mainly bay or jetty fish, i go offshore 3-5 times a year and that only requires 20-30 miles one way to catch. Most of our fishin trips consist of a 5-10 mile trip 1-way. And once again if I had an unlimited budget of course i'd close the transom and go with the 4-stroke 200's but unfortunatly I am a blue collar boy with a limited budget.I work part time nights and weekends with a marine salvage company to support my habit, the up-side to that is at any time that drunk fat azz fisherman you insinuated i was will run his $50,000 boat up on the jetties soon and if we get the salvage maybe i can pick up those 200's you want me to have so-bad.
