Just because it will not sink does not mean it will not flip, and throw you out.
I would agree in a drive way even a 17' boat looks big, but in the big ocean even a tanker is small in the wrong weather.
I was out Saturday heading for Jefferys Ledge, and was thinking hard of turning back. You have to know you limits.
The urge to fish is strong, but the will to live has to be stronger.
You can always fish another day, that is if you were smart enough to turn back when ?#it hits the fan.
Always sorry to hear of anyone's loss.
