The thing is, " suitable offshore boat", being the question, would not be what your looking at. The question, would be,, what's the minimum " suitable offshore boat" We've all been there at some stage, getting something that can for the first time get you out a bit further, fish wider.

Re: Formula 15 Renovation

Jacking plates are good and serve a purpose, BUT, if your at rebuild stage, then raising the transom ( as I have) to take a 25 " is the better option to take for sure. Both options lift the power head up further out of the water, but the extra 5 " makes a huge difference at the back for the reasons ...
