| Last year while fishing in my 16 foot Alumacraft Lunker tiller, we were on Waubay in South Dakota and took off from the dock on a calm day. Got to the far end to pitch and flip in the trees and stumps for smallies, then the wind came up... 25 mph and 3 footers. I didn't think we were going to make it back. Luckily got behind a larger boat that cut the waves for us.
I guess I just don't want to get caught in a situation like that again. Granted the Lunker is small and aluminum. I don't plan to fish in "big water" very often but want to know if I do I can get back safely.
Would I be able to get back in three footers with the X-170? Not fishing in 3 footers, but stable enough to make it back to the dock 2 miles away?
