I am looking for a reasonably price fishing boat to take out from bouy 10 (columbia river) and 5 - 20 miles off the oregon coast. It doesn't have to be fancy, just be safe in the ocean. I heard Arima is a good brand, what are some others...

For the guy who said "There are safe people. You do not sound like one of them"
I've been boating the columbia for 15 years in many different Bayliners. I've never had any accidents. I once had the weather quickly change on me with 5' - 6' rollers comming at me but safely made it to shore. I just wanted some suggestions for ocean worthy boats.

If you are going across the bar, then I would get a boat with a closed bow (not a boston waler) . Make sure it has lots of power. I would want a deep vee hull. No flying bridge or big superstructure-you want a low center of gravity. Keep your gear in tip-top shape and listen to the weather reports and channel 16. You are talking about one of the most dangerous areas on the Coast. But hell, the fishing's great!

There are no safe boats. There are safe people. You do not sound like one of them. The Columbia River exit is called, with good reason, a graveyard for seamen. The USCG trains there
year around because sea conditions are so dangerous. Imagine a sudden nautical mile circle of boiling seawater and lung searing steam so thick you can't see 20 feet; What is the
undersea volcano doing today off Oregon? Anyone? Anyone?

I consider what all the others are asserting to boot, i might stick on the threshold of shore. keep in mind that the water situations on the sea and around inlets can replace dramatically interior of minutes. All you prefer is a small breeze going against a shifting tide and you've gotten 3-4 ft swells and white caps. You truthfully do not prefer to get caught in undesirable climate. I went out fishing in a 20ft fishing boat on the Delta close to Martinez CA and went out in noticeably calm water and as i replace into out fooling around and initiate coming lower back to docks a gentle breez had picked up and the image going lower back to port replace into surprisingly diverse then going out. I rather didnt think of i replace into going to make it lower back. Crossing swells and a 40 5 degree attitude helped,, yet unwell in no way forget approximately how enormous those waves have been given under likely established situations. be constructive to take each and every precaution and function a sturdy time.

A troller would be a good fishing boat. Hubby had a 38 ft made by kettenberg and was built in 1947. He fished Cataline islands, Santa Barbara, San Clemente island. Hunting flats, horseshoe calp, Palo Verdes. The people who owned it before had been to Hawai several times. She was a good fishing boat.

"Boston Whaler", even cut in half, the hull still floats due to "Closed cell floatation foam" throughout the Hull, I would'nt go out in ANYTHING else !
