[QUOTE="Bowhunter1661, post: 389736, member: 9937"] Wear your safety equipment and shut off lanyard. Watch the weather and marine forecasts. Pay attention to wind while fishing large bodies of water. Don't tempt fate if waves are larger than 2-3 feet. I fish southern Lake Michigan in my 14' modified v lowe. Previously I had a 15hp but now I am running a 25. I fell much safer having the extra power! I always watch the marine forecast, SW, SE and south winds for me when fishing Lake Michigan. I have been in 1 footers and 2-3 with the occasional 4. I will never go out again in 2-4footers. Way too uncomfortable of a ride. Here's a link to me driving on Lake Michigan in SW winds @ 10 mph. Waves were around 1' out off shore where I was at. https://youtu.be/eWAeMpjp7MQ [/QUOTE]
