[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 366178, member: 1417"] I haven't been able to get an answer to Jeffrey's question yet but I got close recently. I finally got a GPS (iPhone app that seems very accurate when compared with car speedo) this year but the lake I fish has had very high water levels all summer and "no wake" postings. Last weekend I went to my brother's and we fished the weekend on a large lake in central MN. In moderate chop with three people - into the wind - we hit 25mph. I was really glad to have a welded boat because the pounding to the boat (and some other more delicate things) was much more than I'm used to as I'm generally on small, smooth lakes. You guys who fish coastal waters or very large lakes may be used to not seeing over the top of swells, but that's not really what I'm used to. It was good to have the boat on a busy lake in wind to increase my confidence in its ability. The waves and wakes posed no problems and we bobbed around without incident - even when a dumb-*** in something that looked like a fire boat decided to come between us and a pontoon about 50 yds. away.
