I bought a cheap one that did exactly what I needed it to do on the ocean. I just had to be real vigilant about keeping track of the weather and wave height. Boat was 20' long and had a single 115hp mercury outboard. 26 gallon bait tank and a fish finder that was useless in water deeper than 300'.
BUT - took me 30 miles offshore where I was catching the same tuna the big, expensive boats were catching.
