[QUOTE="IHDiesel73L, post: 189887, member: 3820"] This is the answer I was looking for. I'm not all that concerned with speed really-from the ramp to where we want to go is anywhere from 2-3 miles straight across the water. If you're telling me that with a 9.9 on a 16' loaded with three people, a dog, and gear, that I can do 10 MPH that works just fine. At 10 MPH it will take me 15 minutes to get where I want to go (2-3 miles, wind permitting of course), so that works. It's a hell of a lot faster (and easier) than paddling! All good points-the importance of safety not something I need to be convinced of-the reason I'm so interested in this topic is because I want to make sure that I'm getting the safest boat for our needs. As far as the waves go, I've never even seen 3-4' waves on the lakes we go to, but needless to say I wouldn't even think of going out in such conditions. Thanks for the info. [/QUOTE]
