Sanfrancisco bay fishing in a 19ft bayliner?

Question

Is a 19 ft bayliner too small to venture into the bay. I was planning on adding a radio and a 9.9 outboard for always having an extra power mode. Is this boat to small. Its a 19ft cuddy cabin in great shape. Any advice. Excited to catch a halibit. Thx for your help.

Answer 1

You will be fine , on your first couple of trips keep with in five miles of  the gate, and go early in morning, return by 10,00am.

Answer 2

as a owner of a bayliner 17 ft, and a previous owner of a 19 ft

1987 cuddy, i think youll be fine. of course use some descretion. if its windy dont go out. just use common sense.

i live in baltimore md. they are good boats, enjoy
