Its not the boat that is the problem its the operator. When the operators of the big boats think that canoes and kayaks are nothing more than speed bumps. boats don't really think for themselves, but the operator thinks it seems that they own the lake cause they are bigger.

going to test it on the Mighty Mississippi sounds like a great adventure at that. And perhaps that is a good place for the big boats. does anyone recall that in the early 60's the majority of the boats were 16' and less. Cates was a cop in Alton Bay and he had a 14' starcraft. He might not be able to catch you, but it seems that he knew where every boat was moored.
