mine has seen some nasty stuff on rainy and wabaskang that had me white knuckled and my passengers making sure their vest were buckled but we pulled through with minimal water in the boat or on us.even the "big" boats were having trouble in both cases.the guy who was with me on rainy owns a big glass boat and stated afterwards that he was very impressed with the way the mag handled the big stuff.by the way on that day we made a supply run from "the brule" to rainy lake houseboat base, thats about 15 miles, i think.on the return trip to the brule we had 20 gallons of gas in my tank,two 6 gallon cans of gas,4 cases of beer[it was lite beer so the weight should have been less!]some water and some groceries plus 2 guys on board.we were loaded heavy! the wind came up blowing from the west and the farther east we got the worse the water got. it was building to true 3 footers that were getting choppier and closer together as we neared the mouth of the brule.i have a yammy 60f but was wishing i had a 225 keep pushing the nose up.anyways i just kept the nose as high as i could and surfed with the yammy groaning to get over the next wave until we rounded the corner and got out of the #!&$!needless to say we were forced to open a few of the beers to make sure they weren't damaged on the return trip! if i was going to buy another boat today it would be a tuffy.great solid boat that is easy to fish and will take a pounding.[/QUOTE]
