The bare minimum doesn't apply offshore. You don't make those long runs in the mere hope that you may get a nibble here or there ... you're aiming for the home run. And you don't spend a few hours running offshore picking the perfect spot to cut the engines and cast away only to stay for a small catch. So you shouldn't settle for a boat that may or may not live up to an offshore billing. These 20 offshore fishing boats not only get the job done, but they'll also improve your angling, with either more muscle, more standard features or more comfort, so you can take the family along for the adventure.
