What is the best hull design for rough water lake like twok I have a 18 foot deep v but miss a lot of trips there cause I am just not sure of 18 to 20 mph winds You have been on Twok in 30mph NW winds in the catamaran! Lol

Trust your gut here. Not being sure is your first best indicator for not going.
You can work up to it, but this isn't really the time of year to be working up your rough water experience. Once you get wet, hypothermia slows down your thinking and reaction time, turning an uncomfortable situation into a life threatening test.
Wait till the water warms up and then go out in the higher wind days to build your boat handling skills and confidence.

Good advise from Ed. I have a 1998 20' Sea Ark, flat bottom. Has worked great for me. I hate fishing in high winds, so I don't. A Tyee should work well. They are great V hulls.

This thread is pretty weak. Someone needs to start posting pics along with their description. I keep having to Google everyone's boat.

22'6" Fishmaster with Helix 12 side scan. Can't ever have enough rod holders! About to add 6 more. She's staying home this weekend though. Me and Gato got a date with Ms. Texoma! Nice boats guys!

So I am a bass fisherman turned catfish nut. Here's my 1990 Ranger 360V with a 1989 Johnson 150 GT on it. Bought it in rough shape. Redid the carpet, rebuilt the rotten deck, padded the front deck, added a deck extension, a bunch of motor work was done, replaced the trolling motor and batteries, threw 10 rod holders on it, a couple power poles, and helix 10 Mega SI on there all to chase cats. Hard to convince myself to get the center console I would love to have when this boat is working so well for me.

18' Xpress center console. Trying to get into a deep v style with a walk through windshield sometime soon. My rig is for sale currently. Sorry, I had to one-up myself and bring this back to the top. Just got back from Missouri with my ride. Can't wait to get it rigged out and slimed up!
