Purely Hypothetical...

I'm sure both of these are listed here so pardon the re-posting. Hopefully I'm not insulting anyone but I think both are way on the highside but if you were looking for a 1st rig for running to the Hudson and southern canyons which would be the better project?

This is just to give me a solid idea on what can of worms should I be thinking of. Would it be better in the long run to wait for a "turn key" to pop up or is it worth it to invest the time, money and effort to refit they way I would want to? With all the potential issues that could come up with both of the rigs would it just be better to have one built and make the bigger financial sacrifice?

Sorry I should have linked the "spec" page for the BHM.

To add another variable, lets say I could get a Category D permit and set monk gear over the winter, I'm assuming the BHM would make a better rig?

both are way to small to go monking in the winter....imho

I'd rather the bhm but both need lots of work and the both are plenty big to go monking in the winter

Cant beat a Duffy or a Cape Island Finish....IMO plus ive seen tuna eclipse in person and its a nice rig

More from the hypothetical world, what would be the max sized tanks you could jam under the deck on a set up like this Athearn Marine Agency, Inc. - Shipbrokers, Marine Brokers for Commercial Fishing Boats in East Coast United States , along with a massive fishbox and still get up around 12knts without putting it in the corner?
