Small Boats on Lake Meade

[lvrider]

I have an older bass tracker but it has a bit bigger motor (35hp). it is late 80s so its not a very deep v. It is only 15 foot 7 and I used to think the same way as your buddy. At least I wouldn't dare go out in waves. I had my buddy talk me into it being okay and we have gone out in some pretty big waves in it. 2-3 feet waves maybe even bigger. It makes me nervous as all can be but if you cut the waves right I think its fine. I would do as your talking about and stay in coves and close to shore. I like launching in gov wash from the dirt launch ramp around there. The waves do not seem to get to big in that area even with a little wind. I have even gone out at night with some waves from boulder and trekked up to gov wash area. I still have lots of respect for lake mead having almost sinking other boats with other people in big waves that came over board.
