Agreed. *I've had mine in Charleston Harbor in 2+ foot chop, and it's
OK. *Our local lake has a large main body of water, and I've been out
on it when it was really whitecapping... so bad I only saw one other
boat out. *No problem. *In fact, it handles that with a ride that's
much smoother than any other kind of boat, except one of those fishing
cats.

Of course, once it starts to impact the front of the boat, it's a
really wet ride, and no fun. *No thanks.


2 foot chop? That's pussy boating. Keep driving that thing in as you
call " chop" and the rivets, or welds on that aluminum will start to
crack, or tear.
Face it, Toons are fair weather ONLY Vessels. I say vessels, because
they aren't even Boats.
