Pretty new to the BBC boards here. I had the pleasure of purchasing a 2007 Stratos 176XT with a Yamaha 70 HP engine this year. I have been fishing a few local tournaments in the natural lakes around where I in Southern MI and Northwest IN. I would like to also fish in some tournaments that my local club hosts up on Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair. Do your guys think that my 176 XT would do alright on those larger bodies of water? I would only fish on a nice day with no east wind.
Thanks
