Beautiful lake, stunning.
Not the place for a porta bote unless you stay near accessible shoreline and near your put in point. You’re not going to be able to tour the lake with 6hp. It’s an excercise in futility and very dangerous.
Have been out there when houseboats foundered and in waves that were no joke for 20-24’ v drives. Sometimes it’s wind, sometimes it’s large boat wakes, sometimes it’s both.
I wouldn’t even consider a row boat, not at all.
It’s like asking how well a row boat would fare crossing Lake Michigan.
