What kind of wind velocity do most experienced boaters consider acceptable on inland lakes and rivers?

We had winds in the upper teens gusting to 25mph or so and felt safe, but experienced a rougher ride going into the wind. I'm anxious to get out again but the wind looks to be as bad or worse in the near future.
I've been told that my boat will take way worse conditions than I will attempt. Judging from the way it handled the other day I'll sorta buy into that.
