I personally love the overall challenge of fishing while four inches above the water. I like the aspect that you need to think about every piece of tackle that you bring because of space issues. I feel more at one with nature silently paddling along through the kelp. I really dig the view of all the sea life from the low vantage point. As for excitement... I've found nothing fishing wise that beats battling a fish and going on a sleigh ride while floating in a piece of plastic.
If I was going to buy a boat I'd get something in the range of 21-26 feet with a little cabin. That way I could spend more time on the water.
