Hey all, first off thanks for having me. Surely you guys get the same questions all the time but bear with me. I have an idea of the answer to my question, but really just looking for validation.
For my first boat I am thinking a Carolina Skiff j14 or j16. My goals are to be able to fish, hunt, and crab out of this boat. I live in the piedmont of N.C. right now but will be looking to move to the coast in the next 2-3 years life permitting. So this boat will see plenty of lake work in the immediate future, but salt water marshes will be coming quickly. I will be trailing the boat, currently with a small suv so weight is a concern until I get a truck.
My question is this, is this the right boat to consider based on what I want to do with it? I plan to set it up with a 25 or 30 tiller handle, trolling motor, and keep a push pole so that my options are all there. Am I crazy to think I can make this work?
