All of you have bigger boats what is the smallest you would take on this? 24 to small?

I would say 24 is not too small, but Lake Michigan usually determines what too small is. Some days a 47 Apache is too small.

Its a very reasonably priced event where a bunch of local high performance boating enthusiasts get to socialize together.

Come on out and have some fun. If the lake is too bumpy, you might be able to jump on a bigger boat.

Sign up! Don't be a wimp.

I am usually the smallest and slowest boat on every run I attend and
I don't let that stop me. My boat's hull measures under 21ft and I
cross the Great Lakes regularly. You do need to pick your battles
though. Be smart and you will be O.K.

Besides there is always someone who is bigger or faster than you on
any given day. Here is a picture of Brad's sweet MTI arriving in
Milwaukee AFTER me on last year's WHYC Fun Run. Does that make
me the NEW CAT KILLER?

O.K. Maybe not.
