There are RIB's (Rigid Inflatable Boats) out there, don't know if anyone is familiar with them. If they are worth the money to buy one?

20 km /hr on any mid sized to larger lake is when whitecaps begin to appear.
After 30 km /hr, there will definitely be white caps, smaller boats should not be out there at all - occasional bigger white caps will be crashing over small craft and soaking the deck.
At 40 km /hr it is no fun in a bigger boat either because you are getting tossed around and wet.
I typically don't enjoy anything over 20 km/hr - just can't stay on your trolling track, getting punished moving around the lake and get "sea legs" when you come back to shore after a few hours of that.
