It was bumpy no doubt - but we were OK.
For the most part though, we tend not to venture out on those days when the white caps far outnumber the boats - you wont see many boats at all on the lake on those days - not even the large ones. Cost jump when you start looking at 25 foot boats and up - and gas prices being what they are - well sorry - I am not looking for a $400 fill up for a weekend on the lake!! We are loving our 19 footer - and have no regrets ... will we move up the chain for our next one (next season)???  YES -  We plan to buy a nice and much "roomier" 20 footer!!  |
Just curious what make is your 19'? I am looking at the Four Winns brand.
