You’ll be fishing on a 23’ angler boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. This boat is powered by twin 350 HP Mercury engines and reaches a maximum speed of 40 knots. There’s Lawrence navigational equipment, such as GPS, fish finder, and VHF radio and you’ll also find a live bait tank, downriggers, and a cooler.
