That boat is sick. As for me, since I barely got to know my boat last year, I'm going to go one more summer with it and I'll see how I feel. If I do make a switch, I'll stick with milder power. And while 1000hp sounds cool, but how long would that last? And how much $ to deal with a refresh?:eek:

The altitude is pretty wild.
How is that measured?? From GPS location (in the boat) to water surface? That would certainly explain the feeling when you fall into a "hole" in the water in between waves that you didn't make it to the next crest. Congrats on a successful loss of virginity in the rough. It seemed I just grew up with it, and had to learn by fire. Got out somewhere, and it just kicked up before you could get home - or even knew it was coming. You learned real quick. After awhile it turns into a helluva lot of fun - until you start breaking things. |
I have a Garmin 76csx. It has a built in altimeter and it sits on the dash of my boat in a cradle.
Masher, the love for big HP is there but must take a back seat to economics. :( At least at this stage of my life. I'll just check things out over the next few months and see if I really want to do anything. Does Activator have a website? Wouldn't mind learning more about them. |

If I'm coming off like a Dik, I certainly don't mean to, I actually just want to learn what it's reading. When you see a max hole of 18' that you flew over, that's pretty impresive. I know running out in 3-5's, 5-7's, the holes could get pretty deep (multiply crest by 2 and add launch air). And before I open up the whole can of worms about measuring wave height from the horizon, and the wave trough/crest debate, and how the Great Lakes are no comparision to the Ocean debate, I figured I'd ask how that is being measured. |

Pretty soon, all of this will calm down and it will be safe............almost boring out there:D |
