I would have no problem in it . Sounds like you are familiar with the boat.

Just found out that the rental boats there are 12 ft with 5 hp. If that will make it so will mine.

Go for it,my goodness,I see boats that size with all ages of folks fishing lakes and rivers nearly the size you mention all the time.

Well it can depend on the person how agile, how much they weigh. A 150 lb guy is alot safer than a 300 lb guy in a boat this size. If you are familiar with the boat and know its limits, just be alert and you should be ok.

To me it's how safe you feel. If you feel safe then you are more relaxed and less likely to cause the accident, ending up in the water. It's a relative term. You are the one who has to make the call. Is a 400 foot ship safe in a hurricane? Same thing applies.

Key words, how safe do you feel. This is all personal preference. No right or wrong answer.

In the "debate", I am on the plenty safe if weather permits side. Friend on the not big enough side. I would fish from a coke can if I could fit.Originally Posted by Hanr3

To my way of thinking, a 15 or 16 with a minimum of a 42" floor, I like the medium sides to reduce the wind signature. I've been in a 1448 that I was comfortable in. Something else that comes to mind is the shift on the outboard needs to be on the front, and electric start. I'm 61 and 230lbs and arthritis bothers the shoulders so getting back in probably isn't a reasonable thought. I had a 9' displacement style jon, much more stable than straight sided jons that I just couldn't talk myself into. I also had a 15' Grumman Canoe with a flat floor that I used a few times, and just never got comfortable in. A few good trips had me smiling but the agility isn't what it used to be so I thought it smart to let it go. My full sized bass boat is as easy to load and launch as it could ever be but I still have the want to go back to my roots of small aluminum boats and trolling motor power or tiny outbaords. I say all this to let you know that I too feel the urge and just ask you to be careful and remember your limitations. I hope you find what you need to enjoy these other waters.
