Hello all, I am an inshore fisherman (saltwater) so I am trying to find the right fishing version of bennington for me. here are my requirements...
Shallow draft (for drifting over grass flats)
The boat must plane and cruise at 20-25mph...at 3500 rpm (5 gal per hour)
The boat has to handle a 2.5-3 foot wave (pine island sound can get a little rough)
21-23 foot long.
I would very much like to get by with 2 elliptical logs with planing strakes...(less weight/cost/draft?) but it seems that if I want to get my cruise speed of 25mph and "get on top of the waves" a tritoon is the pick. what do you guys think?
