Re: What size boat

Took our 19.5' sea nymph out for the first time Saturday. Waves were "less than 2" all day. Got a little choppy, but never once felt that we weren't solid and safe out there. Plenty of 16-19 deep Vs on the water, some of them I'm not sure I'd have been happy to be out in with 4+ people they had. If I was ONLY going to fish Erie, and I wanted to go regardless of some snotty conditions, I'd look for a fiberglass rig in the 22' range or bigger. That'd get you out there safely on most days that weren't absurd weather wise.
Nice weather, my boat is a perfect size. Keeping in mind that I'm an Erie rookie, that's my 2 cents.
