Well I'll say with 45 plus years of boating experience myself and captain Cam having 45 plus years experience racing sailboats and having a 19 foot Lund for 20 plus years traded up to a self draining Pro line ocean boat there were no concerns of a problem. Everyone on board has been out before in rough water aboard tailfeathers. Disaster can strike on dead calm water it doesn't need rough conditions. No conditions were not ideal for a great lakes vessel that has to be pumped if water comes aboard. What can I say seasoned customers and Captain's who have more experience than the average weekend warrior had a very pleasant charter without someone trying to drive into the side of our vessel. And yes the fish vessels do go out in water that rough frequently if your there you know!
