Jason,
If I wasn't harrassing you you'd think I was mad at you---I agree--you have done a good job on that boat and with the speeds you have run your pretty much on the top of the heap along with a few others!!!

Are we not talking here about sea conditions?
There is no such thing as rollers in a lake. There is wake and slop but not rollers.
I assumed when he said 4 foot rollers he ran the boat in the ocean.
The wind to make a four foot wake in a lake would be caused by a tornado and you could not boat.
I'm not trying to be difficult but I assumed we were talking sea conditions here.

1) there are rollers on a lake..............their called cruiser wakes. Or atleast thats my lake terminology
2) I was at Texoma on Saturday and sunday in the same 25mph winds with 40mph gusts. Thats the biggest lake in TX and OK and I did see a 4-5ft chop with an occasional 6 in the middle of the main channel. I doubt any other lake in TX could have produced a 4-5ft chop. The waves were 3-5 seconds apart.
I was good to get up to 50mph in the rough, but then again it was only my 3rd time to have the boat out. I did feel that it could have handled a lot more speed, and I probobly could have used a bigger set of balls. SOOOOOOOOOO if he hugged the shoreline I will say that is very plausible. Those speeds are very impressive nonetheless.
Curious......which lake were you on????

Believe me I have a LOT of respect for the boating you guys do up in the Great Lakes. That seperates the men from the boys. After running Lake Erie twice now and and glad my lake is smaller.

I have heard from a lot of folks that it does really get rough on Texoma and I would not be out there if the wind was blowing 40 to 50 MPH but with all due respect I find it hard to believe an inland lake can produce 6 footers (measured as they are in the ocean).

Oh hell.......talked to Corp of engineer who sent me to a Texoma park ranger................who gave me an uneducated guestimate..........said it could have gotten up to 4ft on saturday and he's never seen 5's on Texoma. Also said he hadn't been stationed there very long. Also said there was currently a 2.5-3ft chop and its currently 18mph wind with 26mph gust. So I guess I was in 4's on the main channel of the biggest lake in TX.

Regardless of the actual size of the wake, roller or what ever the speed Jason got is impressive especially under the conditions.
Be Safe!
