Location: With my son on the water | Oh I have to agree with Steve on his statement. Narrower boats IMO have less surface area and cut waves. Where with wider boats the entire surface area of the boat can make contact with the wave causing the boat to go up and down with the waves. I have experienced this many times. Obviously every hull is different. But again IMO length is more important so it spreads the anglers out when they are fishing. Length also helps span more waves so you reduce the up and down, it's physics.
I will take a longer narrow boat versus a short wider boat most days.
Again this is my opinion based on 35+ years of being in boats and I am not trying to start a whole new bashing discussion. The Tuffy 1760 at just 84" wide runs through waves like a hot knife through butter, plus it fits in the garage.
Have a happy day  |
