The J16 on the Ches. is used for mainly 'protected' bays, rivers etc.
You dont see many in the middle of the bay when a "chop" (15+kt) is
running. Not enough freeboard to be an all-around bay boat IMHO... nice
boats though.

I am looking at the j16. The hull looks like it will only be good in flat
water- like lakes. IS the boat OK for the Chesapeake Bay?
