[QUOTE="OldSailor85, post: 520264, member: 36164"] I also grew up on Lake Erie. My father docked Cleveland to Sandusky over the years. The Harbor, Huron Lagoons, Cedar Point, Beaver Creek, Romps, etc. Other than his 16' Lyman, they were inboards with lots of freeboard. I wouldn't even look at boats with 15" transoms. I have a 16' Lowe Lunker II. It does have a small self-bailing motor well and a 20" transom. Even so, I have serious questions about taking it in Lake Erie. I'm a lot smarter than I was when I was 20. We used to fish out of a 16' Glastron. No radio, before cell phones, out of the sight of land (we did have compasses). Not real smart. Also had a 15' fiberglass something. The 85 Merc helped get you out of trouble, but it's a long, long, way back from Kelly's Island with a wind out of the SE. No playing around on the big lakes.
