Well... you wouldnt want to read what the retards up in Detroit at the
Smallmouth Derby did last week on Lake Erie. 3 boats sunk (towed in by
OUR Coast Guard for free ...yet they charge us.) 1 guy lost the 240
Verado engine right off the back of his boat.
These were dummies that took BASS BOATS out in 3.5 to 5 foot chop.
You just DONT DO THAT on Erie.

While they are pretty and fast, the utility of real bass boats is
limited to flat, inland lakes. And some of the "flats" and bay boats
built by bass boat companies and others aren't much better in terms of
freeboard or bows built to take on the kind of waves you're likely to
encounter in salt water or bodies of water like the Great Lakes. The
answer is to have enough experience to know where you can and where you
cannot safely go with the boat you have.
