What would be a decent length for the great lakes? remember this isn't for living aboard and when I say rough I just mean 3' waves close to shore. Sounds like you plan to stay yied to the dock at least 75% of the time, in which case, anything that floats and supports a cooler will do the job. Lew Former Lake Erie sailor |

Been a while since I was on Lake Erie, but I was thinking something to that affect. I have run 4-6 footers of a much shorter period on Mead and Powell in a 17'8" Ranger. We got a little wet, but we never shipped water. I'd have no worries about running 3 footers in my 20'3" BassCat. When somebody says rough though I think small craft warning weather not three footers. Of course having seen the damage Erie can do gives me a lot of respect for that lake.
