The Dorado 23 is a boat that can fish offshore in the morning and the backcountry in the afternoon. It is 23 feet long and can easily accommodate 4 anglers with all of their gear. The use of a Porta Bracket on the transom allows you to have the outboard mounted behind the transom so you can use every square foot of the cockpit. The biggest advantage of the bracket is giving the captain the ability to raise the outboard up while keeping it in a vertical position. This gives the boat its shallow water capabilities. It seems you can't have enough storage in a boat so one with multiple compartments built into the deck will let you store all of the gear you should need. A slight rise in the deck at the bow gives you the height to throw a cast net but enough freeboard to safely fish from the bow.
