We fish it in an Alumacraft V16 with 20hp. We don't often run to the weirs, too risky if wind pops up. But have a plan for wind contingencies and launch close to where you intend to fish that day, and you will be fine.

Did the same in the 1970s with my dad driving a 16x48 with a 20 hp Merc. Always stayed in or near protected water. This time of year, you can do a lot of good in Turner bay.
