[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 186558, member: 4585"] Those boats are awesome! I don't think the big waves and chop of the great lakes would be any less harsh on a boat than the waves and swells in the ocean. But common sense always applies. Im not going to take a 20 year old riveted thin alum boat and try to re-enact the perfect storm with it. Just like I wouldn't buy an old tracker 1436, put a jet motor on it and try to slide over rocks in the susky river with it. I would like to get one about 20-22 feet in length. a Cuddy Cabin of some type with an outboard (just because its easier to work with). For use just offshore or in the intracoastal waterways. A starcraft Islander would be great. [/QUOTE]
