I am with easy limits.I fish a 12' highlaker in the salt all the time but then again I used to deckhand up in the Berring sea.Put the boat into some smaller water and build some confidence and learn how the boat behaves in differant situations.Those cuurents and rips can do screwy things with smaller boats under power!

I wish I could post some pics of us up off the Aleautians screwing around in a 16' in fifteen foot seas!Friend had a high quality video camera and got some great footage.We would launch of the crest and free fall into the trough!On the other side of the island the wind was blowing over 120 miles an hour!
