Well olduckhunter, I have graduated from a two man to a 18'-6" stratos bass boat with a 150 johnson on it. It does not have much trouble in the wind, only when the waves get four feet tall then they may wash over the bow of the boat. But I have done my time in a two man waterscamp, and have found to this day that it still serves a purpose in my line up of boats, I am boats poor, I have four of them. I have a 21' bass boat with a 250 evinrude, a 18' bass boat with a 150 johnson, and a 1542 war eagle john boat with a 25 johnson. I pretty much have a boat for all occasions. But the rudder on the two man boat is a must have, it does make fishing out of them a lot less miserable. If a person is Using a Graph on a two man boat the rudder is also where I had my transducer mounted. All I did was unplug the transucer cable from the graph when I removed the rudder and left it on the rudder all the time.
