I have a 22 ft Penn Yan that's great for walleye on lake erie..I have a 12ft row boat with a 1958 10hp Johnson on it that we use for Island hopping and perch fishing.. I love my Lil boat runs great very low maintence take the motor off flip it oveer and it's ready for winter.. like everyone said just look at the weather very carefully the lake can and will take your life at any moment. Don't go out if theirs a possibilty of a storm.If you see one on the horizen get off of it..Any boat can be taken out on the lake and be sucessful at catching fish.I won a perch dreby in mine a few years ago. No fish is worth drying for, Just be smart and you'll be fine.. Best of luck and be safe..
