I was wondering the same @Wildfire from shallow river’s,to the rough stuff out on a big lake!!How does the boat meant for 3" of water handle the rough stuff?
Hurry up with the yard work @Fshrmn4life lol & Tight lines to you!! a six walleye limit for you!!I'll be out there after a little yardwork
It's a little different. With the high sides, thick inflatable floor and self bailing its a very, very safe boat. It will cavitate if I get the speed up in heavier waves due to air under the hull but it cruises well in mid range, if a little bumpy ane wet from splashing. Trolling with it takes some getting used to. Without a proper lower unit/skeg it tends to drift ALOT in the wind. Parallel to the waves today the drift was very noticeable despite doing 3mph. It does troll right down to 1.5mph nicely tho, and its not too bad on gas. Looking forward to having my tinner available again by the weekend tho Here some more pics of it in action....How does the boat meant for 3" of water handle the rough stuff?
I'll be on the pier in the morning. Yard work can wait til ThursdayI'll be out there after a little yardwork
Why is that funny Red? I'd MUCH rather be going out in a boat with someone, but well, someone I live with who isn't me was on vacation last week, so I'm kinda broke now until the end of the month. THAT ain't funny.I'll be on the pier in the morning. Yard work can wait til Thursday
A visit by me sounds nice @Trevor M but I am not too sure yet what I will be doing,fishing or yard work? I will decide in the morning,after a “refreshed” weather forecast. Tight lines to you off the port bruce pier tomorrow.Why is that funny Red?

Well, ok, I guess it is.
You can come visit me if you want tomorrow, I'll be there by 6:30ish after I drop her off at work.
Thanks Red. I'll be looking at the forecast again in the morning too, but I've already pretty much made that decision. Tomorrow looks to be the best day this week, so I'm GOING.......N winds to start, changing to W, then SW by 2, relatively light most of the day while I'll be there with some gusts, not expected to pick up to more than 15km/hr with gusts until after I have no choice but to leave if I'm going to pick my wife up on time.A visit by me sounds nice @Trevor M but I am not too sure yet what I will be doing,fishing or yard work?

What a boat. That thing is a beast.It's a little different. With the high sides, thick inflatable floor and self bailing its a very, very safe boat.
