After a decade fishing, the berry in a 19.5 ft boat, my rule of thumb is fishing in winds in the "teens" gets annoying. I handle the rocking and rolling very well after years of boating but when the forecasted winds are in the "teens," I don't go. For me, it is a long way to go, so I want more than an hour or two of fishing. As the captain of your ship, you make the call when to get off. I error on the side of caution, knowing my boat will not sink to the bottom, but I will!
