What Type of Boat for Wachapreage/Chincoteague?

[Peltz]

Hi. I am plannning a trip down for some flounder in the next few weeks. I have two boats that I could bring. One is a 21 foot center console with a 150 hp Yahama and the other is 18 foot aluminum Lund with a 20 hp Mercury. Which would be better for fishing around the bays for flounder? I understand that a lot of boats are on the smaller side. Thanks

Either would work but if you want to save some gas just use the small one.
I fished both places for years with a 16' jon boat/20 hp.
If you go to Wachapreague, there is a short boat ride to where most fish, so the bigger boat gets you there faster.
At Chincoteague, from most any ramp you are already in flounder land.

same as above. skinny water. some drifts are in 2-4 feet of water. ran aground once this year there

It can get a little nasty out by the Cell or off Cape Charles. Most folks are headed to the CBBT and I would not want to be out in a smaller boat if the weather picked up and you had get to shore quickly.
