CONTINUOUSWAVE

Thanks, Roundle1979.

[Aboard the boat I plan to purchase I want to bring with me as passengers] two [people] most of the time and occasionally four [people].

Thanks very much, Goldendaze. That's very helpful, especially for your specific experiences in the [Great South Bay] and your experiences about the inlets. It seems a 170 Montauk would be the minimal practical size boat.

Jimh, I think that is a great idea. I will go check the ramps once boating activities resume after the winter.

Thanks a lot for your input, Jimh. It seems a Montauk 170 might be the best choice, considering both the cost and size. For long island south shore, would a 150 be good enough if I limit my activity within the bays, not going into open ocean or in shore? There are large areas of bay north to Long Be...

Thank you guys very much for sharing your experiences. I probably should look for a larger one.

I am new to boating. I am interested in fishing in the bays or near the coastline of the south shore of the Long Island, New York, area, and also traveling from Captree or Fire Island to Staten Island and the Statue of Liberty. Q1: will a 130 SUPER SPORT or a 150 MONTAUK be stable and safe for these...
