The last time I was out that inlet the swells were crashing over the bow a few hundred feet from the end. Lk MI is nasty but fun at the same time...

gotta love waves and fresh water. I've been in conditions like that a few times in our Donzi 38ZR and had to spend a whole day cleaning the salt out. nasty stuff.

What other boat can eat these waves so comfortably... none!
And, let you sleep comfortably watching movies afterward!

Of course I didn't bottom coat it hahaha.
Thats from being in the water in the Black River to long. Need to pull it and acid wash.

I kept it at about 25mph because we weren't wearing vests. It was slow....... For safety of Course.

I surprised how well my 311 did the faster I went in Erie slop, it went from bouncy bouncy to many small bumps. Not talking extreme fast but a difference of 30-40 and slop, not rollers. I don't think going any faster would o helped you there.
