anybody here do it? I’m guessing the addition of a hard top is necessary…

Iv’e seen dual consoles and center console with bimini tops offshore. I would prefer the hard top. Never to many things to hold on to out there

Bozo, I do not have a top. I run 16’ outriggers mounted on the gunwales.

the Pursuit 26 ft DC at the january boat show had a hardtop, outriggers, full Eisenglass for snotty weather, step down head, decent fish boxes, all the toys. I suggest you get one and I’ll ride along. You can store it at my house if need be.
stickman should just sell his boat to patrick and the move up to an offshore boat

Message Shane at sshaarda, he heads out in a 20 Grady dual console quite a bit
Thanks,

Had a 25 World Cat DC, loved the layout.
Things I liked, HUGE Cockpit for the size bote, your Bimini or hardtop will be gunnel to gunnel instead of a ttop providing much more shade.
Our Family lake bote, a 20 Key West, DC has also been very enjoyable and versatile, have used it all over S fla and keys and in good weather does well.
i learned how to fish on a 20’ grady dual console with outriggers in rod holders. Total cluster mess fishing on boat that small but a i do recall trolling down a weedline with agressor on other side and pulling dolphin into boat left and right while they sat watching with all rods dead…so i guess you can catch em just fine on a dual console
My first “real” boat was a 1986 Grady White Tournament 19 (in 1990). I think it held 42 gallons. We’d head off every weekend w/ (5) 5 gallon Jerry Jugs of gas and pour it in offshore. No outriggers for a while then added gunnel mounted outriggers. Went to the Ledge often. Caught lots of fish.

Caught a big wahoo out of one yesterday. 5 dolphin, bunch of vermillion and grunts.
