I guess I am the only one that ever fished the rocks in fall in a 17 footer and never felt unsafe for a second, and still run a 17 footer today for all types of inshore fishing, when the weather is reasonable.. yes you don't take a 17 or even a 19 out in east wind and 4-6,, however on nice sunny fall days with west winds?? I do it in heartbeat in a good 17 footer, as do a lot of other anglers. Guess you guys have never owned an Aquasport Osprey or ,Mako,17 or similar hulls.. I have and fall fishing was always pleasure, but hey to each his own... bob
