[QUOTE="TinkerTanker, post: 3760702, member: 50228"] I'm with Dennis on this one. Jon boats are dangerous. Make sure to watch weather reports, look out for big water (waves), jet fleas (idiots), and party boats (also idiots). They'll all try to kill you if they get the chance. I've had one drunk bastard drive on the wrong side and drive our 20' boat up by the bank one time, then because they were cruising fast by the bank the waves almost swamped us. This was in a fiberglass skeeter, with their most stable hull design ever built. If we were in anything else I'm sure we would have got a mouth full of water. Those big party boats can swamp you if they're 200 feet away. It takes a while for the wave to get to you so don't just look at them go by and think you're in the clear. They can be enjoyable, but be ultra aware of everything going on around you, and the boat's limitations. Oh, and snakes. they'll flat crawl up in the boat with you. Stay strapped or get clapped!
