    Default ~waves 2 feet or less

    I don't like to bounce around on the lake in 3 foot waves, especialy when they have a few 4 footers thrown in when your not looken. Love the Lake Erie chop and enough wind to keep you moving for the drift and to keep the bugs off you. If I take guests out, they always get sick in 3 foot waves. The 17 footer would be fine for 2 feet or less, but remember as in any boat watch the weather so you can get back to port in case of nasty weather.

    Default Walleye WCKR 2

    I've definitely been in 5-7 footers in my 17' boat. It's not advisable and I had to play the throttle to make it back safely. So, yesterday, fishing out 20 miles, I'd guess we had 2-3's... Was that about right?

    Keep in mind you can always launch out of Muzuriks and fish around the islands and use them for cover if your uncomfortable with wave size and speed. Plus you get lunch pretty easy.
