Man I want a bigger tin.
I'm getting used to the looks when I head out from the launch into big water, but it would definitely be nice to not get wet in 2 footers or have to pick and chose the days because of high winds and rollers. I also don't like heading a few miles out unless it's calm which is counter productive to my style of fishing.
Ideally, my boat of choice right now would be a Lund Renegade 1650. All business, no fluff. Unfortunately, it's out of my budget for a good while.
Enter the bad idea -
In musing with a friend at work, I mentioned that while I wasn't a fan of his deep Sylvan due to it's weight and (IMO) unnecessary fluff it did offer the size and depth that I wanted. That got me thinking - a lot of folks on here like to take a basic platform and build up on it. Here's me, thinking about finding an old deep V and tearing it down to the bare minimum. This got me a cross eyed stare and a "what's wrong with you", but in my sick little head - it makes sense.
What say the masses of Tinboats?
