Walkarounds

[Gerry Zagorski]

In general, if you are looking at ourboard boats, you are going to get a lot more fishing space on an X foot center console then you would on the same size walk around cuddy.

However, not all 25 foot boats are created equal. Many boats built today have the European Swim Platforms and Bow Pultpits molded into the hull and include them in their advertised lenghts. I've been on a few 25s that feel like 21s and 21s that feel like 25s...

Do your homework for sure..... You should consider going to the http://www.jerseyboatexpo.com/ They will have new and used boats on hand and seeing them all in the same place will help you narrow down your search.

I have a 23 foot hydro sport with the engine on a bracket which gives you a little more boat.I rarely use the front only when anchoring,but there is enough room to walk around it.The cabin has a v birth and small sink,but I only use it for storage of my tackle.I dont think I would go any smaller
