Like I said in the first post I dont fish Greenbay or LOTW size waters. Fox Chain, the Chip and other northern Wisc lake systems are about the extent of where my boats go. I have yet come across a situation that a 14ft boat couldnt handle them even in severe storms.

Trolling 6 lines would be a issue downn here I guess. Never tried more than 1 per person though.[/QUOTE]

Well I guess I dont fish big enough waters to make enough a difference as far as waves/chop goes. I live on the Fox river and it is ROUGH when the pleasure boats are out and the Nitro handles it much better than the 16.5 v hull tinny I have. Where I fish up north trolling is illegal aka Vilas Co.
Down here there are HP restricted lakes but is not very practical to take the motor off even on my tinny(I have two boats) the entire motor must be removed to make it legal. Some lakes in the past just required you either dont get caught using the big motor or you take the prop off. Either way in my area both are illegal as of now as far as I can tell.
