Location: Elk River, Minnesota | Much of that drift can be due to the style of boat you have... If the boat is more of a v-hull from front to back, it will sit lower in the water, thus will have less tendency to move around as much in wind since the lower center of hull tends to help keep the boat still.
Now...take a boat that has more of a flat bottom, it will sit higher in the water, and will be affected more by wind since there is less resistance to keeping it in place. A classic example of this would be a v-hull aluminum to a John boat or bass style aluminum boat (like the first aluminum bass tracker boats)
