17' deep V center console. Handles waves fairly well. I'm 50 years old and grew up in a friends' dads' 16 footer on LK. Michigan and Lk. Erie, so I don't consider myself a rookie to big water in small boats by any means. I fished out of my own 16' aluminum on the big water for years, so my 17' is an upgrade for me. Also owned a 19' Nitro bass boat that I fished tournaments in. Was in conditions I had no buisiness being in in that more than once. Done a lot of Coho fishing, dodging icebergs on Lk. Michigan. The 3 hour drive over there for nothing is all that worries me. I know what water conditions I can and can't handle. Just figured that anything over 1 or 2 feet would make it awful tough to make a good presentation in such cold water. Also don't want the boat getting put away soaked after a rain when we've got really cold weather on the way next week.
Anyone venture out this weekend? I decided to wait for the next window.
