Displacement or planing hull weekend boat

No.2060803 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
I'm having a difficult time deciding on what I'd enjoy most for a weekend/overnight fishing trip boat. I've kind of broken down my wants but its still kind of difficult

>reliable enough to run trouble free for 6 month stretches
>500 naut. Mile range
>purchase price below $20k
>space for a full week aboard with 4 people total if needed

So far my 2 top choices have been a bristol with a skeg rudder and fin keel, or a small bertram flybridge like a 28 or something close. Anyone have experience with either sailboats or offshore fishing? I've only been out a few times on a center console which was great to fish off but pretty much only had some bench seats to sit on and had next to no cover from sun.
