That is some rough looking water!!

That's not the shallow end. The deepest point in Lake Erie is 210 feet. There are three major sections, the extremely shallow western basin, the medium depth and largest central basin, and the deepest, the eastern basin, over near Buffalo and Niagara. This is a kind of cool graphic. We boat in the red a lot. That's where you can get dry trough bottoms sometimes. I know a guy who bounced a cruiser off the bottom in 14 feet of water once. Crushed the running gear. But over near Erie, it's deeper.
