You ever wonder which is more stable..........

........at anchor in 2-3ft seas, a 32 Yellowfin or a 23 Parker DV.

Go to 4:30 and tell me what you think. Cameramen on both vessels had the same camera.

I think the leader was chewed and he didn't want to lose the fish by yanking him in........and he was too lazy to get the net. This series is sort of a comedic type fishing series so these guys dog each other pretty good. Also you need to be careful when handling mangrove snapper as they can darn near take a finger or toe off.

Hi there -proud owner of a 2006 1801 -first boat used mostly in cc bay . I want to ask you how your 23 handles offshore -looks very stable . As you know i have my limits in the 1801 -and I really want to get out around the bay in the ocean where the waves are a bit bigger to chase the tuna. Im thinking 23 ft cc or WA or PH - just looking for advice - I was going to go all out on a 25 ft but I'm mostly by myself and trailer ....thanks Eric
