I’m considering going from a 20’CC to a 21’bay boat. I see a lot of bay boats on Lake Murray and wondered if the bay boat owners find themselves sitting it out on windy days? Any opinions on CC vs.bay boats on Lake Murray would appreciated.
I know of a great deal on a 22’ Bay boat if you get serious. I like Bay boat just no seating. I’d stay CC maybe fo bigger.

It really depends on your intended use.

I have a bay boat and as for the wind, I’ll fish the lake in any wind that owners of big center consoles will fish in.

Agree. Ive had several CC’s and just went to a bay. Since my offshore days are over, I like the bay.

Think I’m going with a Robalo 206 Cayman. Took it out in the chop and did better than my Seahunt Ultra 196 CC. Thanks for input form members.
Going off topic, but for a pure fishing boat to use for striper fishing, this one has really caught my eye. http://anglerqwestpontoons.com/
And yes Chip, you could put tube puller on it…

What size I/O you recommend on that setup if I wanted to pull a couple of deuce and a half tubers? 
That Angler Quest looks like such a waste of some good aluminum. Could have just made 2 Pro Cat 240s for that material and had some left over.
