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?

Depends on what you want to use it for, where you want to go. There are
a lot of places on the Bay where a boat like that would be pretty good
for transport to a beach or fishing; others that I wouldn't want to go
near except in pristine conditions.

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.
