I wouldn't do it in a 17' aluminum boat.

The story above was from May 2004, but the points are still vaild.

I had a 20' center console for the past 3 seasons and I would run out of the Merrimack with my twin boys (now 10.5) on board. I was very careful in choosing my conditions and stages of the tide when running the mouth.

That said, I never felt comfortable fishing the mouth with my sons on board. We would drift outside the mouth and further upriver near the Toothpick or on Joppa.

Plenty of good fishing in the Merrimack without setting up in the mouth.
