I have been killing myself trying to understand what boat to build/buy. I have a 25 foot Romarine (like a parker) with a single 300 Evinrude on a stainless marine bracket. Love the boat. Vee angle only 16 degrees boat weight about 5000#. I fish Giant Bluefin, Shark and ground fish out of Gloucester. It's new England weather, not Florida. The boat really limits my days on the water. I have a 35 Bertram in my yard that needs everything. Money is one thing, but practicality is another. That beast is gonna be expensive to own. $1000 everytime I have to bring it to my shop to fix or take out of the water. Would like a boat that is 12 feet wide max..I can haul that with a permit. I have been eyeing a offshore race boat hull its a 34 stutphen. almost free. A bracket. 2 300 outboards, transom is bracket ready and I want to make it like this.

My question is, what are these narrow beam boats like sideways to 3 footers when parked? The beams are so narrow, like 9 feet. The Florida guys say go for it...its very different up here. we will drift sideways to the waves for hours. Sometimes 3 -5 footers. These narrow beam boats dont seem to strike me as the right choice.
