Probably if you really watch the weather and stay close to shore....BUT I will tell you this, based on the fact that my uncle had that exact same boat when I was younger. You're in for one heck of a rough ride. Those boats may be the roughest riding boat ever made, so even with Lake Erie being very calm (1 foot or less) you're still going to have your teeth rattled loose by the end of the afternoon. Good luck and enjoy the trip.

It's all about weather and conditions. Lake Erie can whip up fast.

I have thought about that. people told me those style boats were rough, but we really haven't had any issues, but then again, I watch the wake like a hawk, because we have youngins on board.
