Well I can't really help you out with a smaller boat, but if you decide you have have to go with a bigger boat, I would HIGHLY recommend a boat called the Freedom out of Westport Charters. Capt. Chuck Custer and his main Deck Hand Bob, are just fantastic. I go on 1 Halibut Trip and 1 bottom fishing trip at westport every year and it will always be on the Freedom. I even skipped the opening weekend of Halibut this year because I couldn't get on the Freedom until the second weekend. He will be the first boat underway and the lastboat back to make sure you get your moneys worth out of every trip! In fact my bottom fishing trip is on June 21st aboard the Freedom.

Hope you get the kind of trip you're looking for, but if you have to go with one of the bigger boats, check out the Freedom with Westport Charters.
