Taneycomo is a very different water than a lot of folks think.  With the number of 21' bass boats and V-bottom center console bay boats along with the custom made tunnel 23 to 25 foot big center console flat bottom bay boats there can be some pretty heavy surf.  When they are running 4 units I just cringe at these 16' boats especially if they have built up fishing platforms and seats that rise well above the gunnel.

Water temps were 58.7 degree today, same as the surface on Table Rock.  That is still pretty cold for a bath.  I would not even think about putting 4 people in a 16 footer on the weekend. 

Good Luck and be safe.    That of course is being said from an old water patrol officer and safety is my deal.

I have this 16' Lake Jon (L1636) ready to sell.   It would make a decent rig for Taney I think.

It is just 1/2" treated plywood covered in a rubber backed floor mat material.  Works great, cleans up easily, and lasts forever.

Close Ham,  it's Mimosa.

True that.  That's the reason I've decided to part with this one, it is great on the rivers and smaller lakes but not so great crossing some of the heavy water between the flats here on Lake O.   

If Taney is getting rough these days I'll take back my comment about this being a good Taney rig.  This is a great rig for reasonably slick water.

Wish my ole 16x36 was in that good of shape, but it has not seen much slick water, it is a 72 model been a warrior.
