Will I be sank if I hit the BOQ in a 14ft boat with a 9.9? I'm looking to hook into something the size of my leg.

Could be risky. Make sure you go on a day with little to no wind.
I have done it in a 16 ft Tacker DeepV16 with a 40 HP. Been out there a few times when a shouldn't been.
This time of year, make sure you wear a float suit. There are warm, protect you from the weather and will save your life if you happen to go over board in the cold water. They cost between 200-300 and are worth every penny.

I'm taking a 17'6" with a 115HP this Saturday and I'm watching the weather carefully.
I saw 3 guys in a 14' out last Sat and they were anchored and being tossed about quite a bit.
The weather can change very quickly there, so I would really pick the right day.

you want a BIG high pressure system when there is little to no wind (in that perfect situation, I would take my own 14ft there as well

as long as your fishing the inner sections of bay of quinte, you'd be fine in a 14'er or a kayak.
if your crazy enough to fish the reach, east of the ferry, in a kayak....well.....each to their own i guess.

I remember being new to the board this time last year and there was a report of a guy yak fishing out of Niagra I think.
I do remember it ended very badly and sadly for his family.
EDIT
Just checked my join date, so it must have been in Nov or Dec.

Thanks for the input byes'...If you see some nut casting buzz baits across the reach then you'll know who it is.

There are lots of places you can put in with a 14 ft. Just check from where the wind is coming from and hide in the lee.
Deseronto, Napanee River, Hay Bay, Point Anne.
The Reach is not the only place.
