Some of the boats I have fished on include, 10-12 foot aluminum boats, 18-24 foot fiberglass fishing boats, and a few commercial fishing boats, ranging in size from 28-48 feet.
The smaller boats (10-12 feet) are able to fit 2-3 people and their gear, and usually have a 9.9-25 hp engine on them. The larger boats (18-24 feet) can have either inboard or outboard engines, that range in hp. They also usually have a small 9.9 hp kicker engine used for trolling.
Commercial fishing boats come in many different types and sizes. They can range from small inshore crabbing boats (about 19-28 feet), to much larger tuna and salmon boats (average 42-plus). The tuna boats are quite large and capable to go far offshore to catch tuna. They carry a large amount of fuel to stay out for days at a time and can hold thousands of pounds of fish. Large commercial fishing vessels have living accommodations for the skipper and crew.
