[QUOTE="RaisedByWolves, post: 466151, member: 22989"] Myself and a childhood friend of mine used to take a 16’ row boat all over Van Sciver lake(pretty big lake) with either my fathers 2hp evinrude “Mate” or his fathers 1.2hp Tanaka on a regular basis. The only time we had any issues was way down the windward end of the lake on a windy day. That whole end of the lake was 1’ chop and a 15mph headwind. Our parents came looking for us around sundown (Boy, those were the days) but we were nearly back by then. We were able to make headway by sticking to the shoreline where it was calmer. [/QUOTE]
