Looking for opinions and / or experience regarding boat size for Lake Erie. I'm currently using a Lund Adventure 1650SS with a 60HP Yamaha. It's a great boat but too often the winds out of Port Maitland are above 15 KMH which is usually my limit. The boat is okay, I'm not because the boat is bouncing all over when trolling. It's difficult as well because I'm running two rods, catching, netting, untangling gear and steering all at the same time. This is due to I'm quite often fishing alone.
Now the question: Would a bigger heavier, say fiberglass boat, be more stable and allow me to fish at 15 to 20 KMH winds? What would be the minimum size to recommend to achieve the stability and handling on my own?
thanks
Mike
