A. Probably not enough seats
B. Wrong boat for a bar hopper. Really low boat to get in/out of especially at low tide on a commercial dock and it attracts too much attention/loud

Commercial docks? Restaurant docks have ladders. As I said, seats 5. Way cooler and way more fun than a CC.

Over on the gulf side, there are tons of Hurricane deck boats with outboards that I would think would suit your needs very well. There are many Hurricanes in rental fleets that rarely come out of the water so that should say something about them.

Good luck!

You looking new or used?

If new, check out the 208 Release.

Boca is all idle intracoastal.......so idling in a loud boat is more fun than a silent CC with lots of seating?

I would think at dead low tide boarding a classic Donzi from a high dock would be like juggling in a canoe in rough seas! Not much fun and likely to end in a crash and splash!

Buddy of mine has had one over here for years.i don't think it is as bad as
Jupiter Sensation made it out to be. It rides good for a deckboat and I am pretty picky about my ride and handling.

Quality was impressive also. Every rental fleet over here has nothing but Hurricane.

I saw one of those Donuts at the big bash at Picnic Island cple weeks ago cool as hell Just wouldn't want to go over 60 in it.
