This seems to be the place for fun 'what ifs'.
We are trying to move back to the East Coast. I'm a salt water fisherman at heart, and buying an off-shore fishing boat isn't a matter of if, but when.
Just for fun, though....
How would you equip a salt water fishing/pleasure boat? We're talking a cabin cruiser, with live aboard amenities, probably in excess of 25'. This boat would see family and friends that may not be familiar with firearms.
My thoughts:
2 SS .357 4" to 6" bbl full frame handguns with rubber grips and lanyards (Taurus Tracker jumps to mind immediately).
2 SS 12gauge pump shotguns, with synthetic furniture, 20" BBL and 8 shot capacity
The .357 is an obvious choice. Easy to operate, FTF isn't an issue, easy to clean, high power, etc.
The 12ga would serve dual purpose. Will fire slugs, buckshot, and saftey flares.
Salt air and water can be hard on ammo and guns. Any thoughts on ammo choices, or on special cleaning techniques?
Any other thoughts?
