   We fish the west coast of the NI in an older 5m stabi with 90hp Honda 4 stroke on it. They’re light and tend more to smash rather than slice through chop so won’t be as comfortable as a heavy glass...

   If you decide to go ali then make sure you look at Surtees. Very good boats. Have a central ballast flood chamber which gives added stability at rest. Ride in a sea or chop way better the Stabi
