Are 3 foot waves to high for my boat?

[jkr]

I have fished the last 5 years out of my 17' Crestliner. I've been in 5+ footers, which wasn't fun and kinda scary but managed. If you just bounce along properly you'll be fine. Gotta take it slow (sometimes 9 mph sometimes I can go 15 mph) if the waves get big and just bounce thru them. Now, I've done this 100 times so I'm used to it. I've been stuck out in 7 footers before and had to play the throttle at times to get the bow up so a big one wouldn't come over the top. 3 footers - you should be fine if you have a deep V....

I have been running the lake since i been 10yrs old if have experience and know what you are doing running a 17 footer out there should be no problem. Again variables, how high are the sides of the boat, open bow or closed, wind direction, and where your putting in at. I have ran a 19ft sea ray in 5-6 footers out there and more with no problems.. it would help out if you said the kind of boat you are running. Then i could give you a definate answer, good luck and be safe out there
