I’m considering a boat for salmon fishing out in Puget Sound. I’m thinking something inexpensive, probably aluminum. I would like something that would hold either myself and a friend or myself and my 2 kids. Question: what is the minimum size boat and motor that you would feel good about going out in regarding safety. I don’t plan on going out in particularly rough water but for instance I’ve seen a lot of fairly “small” boats launch at Mukilteo in search of salmon. Thanks for your comments. Don't want to spend a lot of money but also don't want to be a statistic from getting swamped by a ferry wake!
