I spent last summer running around in a 12' boat with a 9.9HP motor on it. My biggest mistake was taking 3 friends out one day. Comeing in, we hit a barge wake, and took a little water over the bow.

The rule I now have is 2 on the sound, and 3 only on little lakes.

I fished the Tulalip Bubble, Humpy Hollow, and Possession Point with it. And my biggest run has been Purdy around McNeil Island, Fox Island, and back. That day was overcast, but glassy.
