Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Take a tape measure and set the zero on the floor. Then strip out 48" and set that against your chest.
THAT is a 4' wave. In a trough of a real 4' wave you will not be able to see over the top of the next wave. Running 4 footers in any 20' boat is a trial, 5 to 7 footers are just plain scary in any 20' model, even a Walleye boat.
Bass boats are not designed to fish and run waters that will be that rough most of the time. Bass rigs are designed to accommodate the techniques most bass fishermen use, and are engineered for speed, so with the obvious parallels between bass and muskie they fish great under most conditions, but when it blows up to 3 to 5', the boat WILL run that stuff but it's not alot of fun. That is exactly why Skeeter, Ranger, Stratos, Champion, Charger, Tuffy, and many other builders engineered Deep V models. |
