Boat travel in Pymatuning

Quick question for anybody that has done it or knows somebody that did. How long would it take to run a 24' pontoon from Jamestown marina up to Linesville. Boat has a 20/25 Merc on it and it runs approx 10-12 mph. I was thinking like 1 1/2 hours or so. What do you guys think?

    Just about 12 miles on the water. So yeah, hour & a half sounds about right...
    unless you're battling a stiff north wind.
    Never done it in a toon, that's just my 2 cents.

    I have a 19' with a 20hp on it and it takes about an hour from Linesville marina to the causeway (we only move about 8mph though according to the gps), so I would guess at least  1 1/2 hrs from Jamestown to Linesville if your doing the 10-12mph on your boat...I can't remember what it took the last time I actually made the run down the whole lake, its been a few years (I just haul the boat via trailer if I want to fish the other end)...

    *ADDED-  I used the ruler on Google Earth and went from the **** to the spillway and its 14 miles, so it would be just under 1 1/2 hours at 10-12mph...

    The worst day hunting or fishing will always be better then the best day at school or work!

    Men and fish are alike. They both get into trouble when they open their mouths.

    Why not make a long day of it and take a buddy and throw out 4 trolling lines and head on up the lake at 2 mph trolling for eyes. You are bound to catch some fish based on the recent reports plus you'll save some $ on gas and be able to kick back and relax a little. Won't be able to troll the entire way but you'll be able to get several hrs of good fishing in.
