funny, worst boating experience of my life was nearly 20 years ago with my dad in his john allmand 23' ticonderoga on lake erie. 14 hrs crossing through 3 T storms at night barely keeping it running just over idle with fuel issues. 6+++ foot waves..... waves coming over the bow AND the stern quite a few times

43 mile crossing... first trouble at mile 5 then cleared up and by mile 10 trouble was back and about that time here came the storms

It was actually pretty wide for it's length.... prolly same width as the 25

when we finally made land we were about 60 miles off course due to fighting waves and being unable to maintain a heading.
