[QUOTE="Popeye, post: 57491, member: 148"] Perhaps smaller bodies of water I would be concerned less with sinking or being thrown over. However just last spring a very seasoned Lake Michigan salmon charter boat captain had his charter boat sink from under him and his 5 passengers. In less than 15 minutes the lake went from 3-5 foot waves to 13+ breaking over his boat. His boat was a 29 footer I believe and if his boat can get swamped, I'll be making sure that if mine does, it ain't going down. Sure I wear a PFD, but from a helicopter, a 19' boat (even swamped) is more visible than a man in a PFD. [/QUOTE]
