I'm with the group. The 20's are so much fun because of their size easy to beach and get into tight places skinny water etc... I was thinking a Master angler would be a good boat for your needs. You can fit 4 no problem.

I removed the vertical rod holders on the starboard side of the center console to allow better fore-aft movement. I kept them on the port side where my VHF antenna is. I think a bracketed master angler would be a whole lot better. The higher freeboard and the splashwell gate are huge plusses for that boat if you actually fish with it as opposed to cruise/ski. A suggestion, though- I keep a collapsible rope swim ladder tied to the rear cleat thru the hawse pipe when I beach, because the higher freeboard makes getting back in damn near impossible without it. (With lots of tide, running at 2 feet an hour, you can't truly beach a boat like this- it is more like float it off the beach. In Florida, you probably can.) One more reason why a bracketed one would be perfect. Or getting one and adding a bracket. Also a 20 footer you can crank up a roller trailer single handed with a two speed manual winch. Even up here with 10 foot tides and very steep ramps. I can't imagine doing that with a 23 footer. Last edited by FishStretcher; 09-08-2012 at 10:08 AM. |

A 20 in any of the 3 configurations would get the job done nicely. An 18 SF might just get it done a little smoother and dryer...
