  1. I've been boat fishing the hook for many years now and would definitely (and I'll probably catch flak for this) recommend not going smaller than a 21'. I know a lot of guys out there fish in smaller boats, which are completely capable of being out there, but there have been a few times where the weather kicked up or the boat traffic had made the water angry and i was grateful that I went for a 21' with a deep V. As for manufacturer, I own a Wellcraft that has been a workhorse and I'm grateful that i did A LOT of boat shopping before i purchased. Basically you have to consider what you need the boat for....do you have kids? is the boat going to be a family/fish boat? maybe you might want to get something with a cuddy so the kids can get out of the sun for awhile. I would definitely look for something with fish boxes in the floor, aerated baitwell, possibly a raw water washdown system to clean the bluefish blood off the entire boat (I hate those demons, but they are fun). My neighbor bought a 17' and is afraid to go around the hook...some seaman he is! Good Luck and ask around, everyone has their own preference and loyalties...I personally love my Wellcraft.
