Well,I'm not a saltwater guy,but on the great lakes (Ontario and Erie)we'll make frequent runs of 20 miles or so offshore,and It may be flat when heading out in the AM,but it's usually kicked up on the way back to port at the days end.
Always seem to be at least two footers fairly close and I love the Tsunami/Sceptre for those conditions.
With the full windshield and side glass and the full canvas work,I can get up on top of them and get in without getting a drop of water on us.The guys riding amidship in the canvas chairs love the dry ride.
My Tsunami is an I/O and all we do is troll,we never stop.For me this works out great,the high transom keeps out any of those creepy waves at the stern and allows for a nice area to net fish without having to worry about getting the net snagged in rigging as in an outboard.
I can see where the Tsunami/Sceptre may be at a disadvantage for you fellas in the salt who use several different techniques like casting,fly rodding,drifting etc.,but for straight trolling the Tsunami can't be beat.
Different fishing methods require different boat models for many of us.I'm glad that Mosely and Potter kept building that great hull in both designs as cuddys and ctr consoles.
