PIB and Kelleys are very short runs from catawba and marblehead less than 5 miles.

we plan on running our v20 from lorain to kelleys this weekend if the weather forecast changes which is roughly 25 miles each way...we usually run to the weather buoy walleye fishing several times a summer which is just shy of 20 miles

myMy point is the boat is plenty to handle Erie... just know what you can handle and know the weather forecasts

I've seen Erie with short, steep 6' waves crashing continually for days.
That is one rough lake !!! Can smash, destroy, sink most any small boat.

Here is a picture of some big erie waves that was shared on ohio game fishing this past weekend . Ive only been out in waves close to that once on erie... dont wannt do it again

its not fun not being able to see over the waves when they are coming every few seconds, from sometimes different directions and constantly breaking.
