Small boat on the big lake.

How about a 14' Sears Aluminum with a 14 horse Scott outboard? it's been all over the lake and never once did I consider the weather as something to be looked at. Of course that was over 45 years ago and the boat traffic wasn't what it is now. But the lake the is the same! Just choose a day that won't have a lot of traffic and you can go anywhere.

I have boated Wiini for 30 years, and have been caught by surprise several times. Crossing the broads that kicked up 4-6 footers within an hour on a sunny but windy day, with my elderly mother hanging on in the back of our 21 ft boat was quite the experience I would not want to repeat. That was wind, and not boat wakes. We decided at that time that in order to really use the whole lake most of the time we needed a bigger boat.
