[QUOTE="Outdoorsman, post: 169745, member: 2909"] I agree that if the owner knows what he is doing and what his boat can or can not handle a flat bottom on a big lake is doable...I have see 18 - 20 ft flat bottom jon boats duck hunting open water on Lake Michigan....but on Lake Michigan you REALLY got watch the weather... todays forcast is S.E. Wind with gusts up to 35 mph... open water waves at 12 - 14 ft deminishing to 8 - 10 ft later in the evening. The only thing out there in those kind of waves would be the ocean vessels 7 miles out in the shipping lanes... Back in the day (20 yrs. ago) I had a 30 ft. Bayliner (Lake Michigan sized boat). I was out in 10 ft waves ONCE....thank God I had a change of shorts with me..... these days I stick to good weather days and inland lakes and rivers.... Outdoorsman. [/QUOTE]
