[#800000][font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]EXCELLENT post Mike. And oh so true. I fished my last boat (Tracker Targa DeepV16) for 11 years in all kinds of weather, good and bad. I ALWAYS watched the weather conditions and got the heck off the water at the first hint of less than ideal conditions. My new boat is a 20.5 ft ThunderJet and it is way more sea worthy than my last boat.[/size][/font][/#800000]

When the wave caps turn white, I stop fishing and head for the marina. To do otherwise is both foolish and very possibly dangerous depending on your boat AND your boating skills.[/size][/font][/#800000][/size][/font][/#800000]

[#800000][font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3][#800000][font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3][#000000]Kent,[/#000000] (Should have said Jeff - my bad) I do have a bigger and better boat than before with better electronics and equipment. But I can't say positively that it has made me a better fisherman overall or that I catch more fish. But I do have more room and I'm more comfortable in the new ride. So I would say you don't need to be in any hurry to upgrade, but when the time and money are aligned perfectly - GO FOR IT WITH GUSTO![/size][/font][/#800000][/size][/font][/#800000]
