I think Steve has hit on a good point that I've thought for several years, especially when I see hunters pushing what I feel is the limit for various watercraft. The point being that not all watercraft are built or designed to be used in all bodies of water. There's a difference in hunting a flooded rice field in Louisiana, or a marsh where the water is 3' deep, and hunting a large reservoir or bay where the water is over 30' deep and freezing cold, and whitecaps are a distinct possibility. Just something to keep in mind as you consider where you intend to use a certain watercraft. Wading out of the marsh after a capsize in water that's 3' deep is a whole lot different than fighting for your life in water 30' deep at 22 degrees.
