Yeah, I suppose, you could fish from a floating log if you were stuck, but I wouldn't fancy fishing from a 14' speedboat. Not much room, and low freeboard.

Still, that's just my opinon....... bet someone else comes along and tells me I'm wrong! :D

Sure you can fish from a 14ft speedboat, just know your limits in various sea conditions. Kneel on the seats and fish overboard rather than standing, big advantage is that you can get in and out fishing quickly.

Seen two lads fishing from a 15ft one down in Kerry last month, they had no problems lashing pollock up, however they were wearing silk shirts, medallions and had extremely hairy chests :lol:
