I have a 16.5 foot single console rig and have been out in some nasty weather trying to chase the walleyes.
Just go out in what you feel comfortable in.
If you are nervous and start over thinking things that is when you are going to have some problems.
Lately if the wind picks up and the waves get big I throw the life jacket on. A few years ago there would have been no thought in even wearing my life jacket.
