Mad, use your common sense. I don't care what people or articles say. There are no wakes on Winni from any boat 8-10 feet. I have been on the ocean when there are 10-12 footers & there is nothing on Winni even close, believe me. There are also no waves from the windiest day on Winni more than 4-5 feet.

2 years ago I was out on the windiest day of the summer & the wind was from the Northwest which creates the roughest conditions on Winni when you are at the mouth of Alton Bay or Wolfboro Bay, sustained wind from 20-30 mph. Rode back from Wolfboro to Gilford against the wind & in a 27' express cruiser had no trouble going 15-18 mph, waves no more than 4', maybe occasional 4.5'-5', & certainly nothing capable of sinking the boat even if taken broadside.
