Default A SeaCraft in Fresh Water?

OK Guys anyone got some clues [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Well it is interesting as I took my SeaCraft through the six sets of locks and out across Lake Okeechobee crossing the State of Fla. to Ft Myers (Forgot to say Hi to That70sBoat) [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] The wind was honking out of the NW at 15-20 knts. It was every bit of 3' to 4' nasty water. (the Lakes only 9'deep in most areas)
Well to make a long story short, the boat acked really squirrelly. It just didn't handle like I am used too in those kind of waves/waters! I have experienced many different sea conditions over 19 years of owning this boat. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

Could these maneuvering problems I encountered be contributed to Fresh Water vs Salt Water and it's boyenceny [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]
