My dad used to run his Freedom 21 shoal keel sailboat between 6 Mile and Little 6. I'd be begging him to turn back, and he would go right through.
"There's one", he'd say and a boulder the size of...

I'm a power boater who does what he can to respect paddlers. My approach is give them the least possible wake. Occaisionally I will drop to headway speed, always if within 150' of course. ...

Big Dog, I bet you have an Evinrude or Johnson V4. Great motors, they are very sturdy and live long. Like anything, if you don't run wide open for long times you will go further on a dollar. And...

Plenty of water to launch & retreive your Glastron. And there's plenty of water in the lake for the kind of draft clearance you have. Just be on the correct sides of the markers.
