The year I was turn boat in Patchogue I drove my boat from Sandy Hook, NJ to Fire Island Inlet, NY in an 8-10 ft. ground swell. Long trip, was happy to get in the inlet after 1 1/2 hrs running, lots of concentration! Good thing it was a swell, it wouldn't pound you but you had to pay attention to GPS at all times not to drift out to the horizon into the swells.

Anyone concerned about pushing that old hull with so much HP? I know they are built heavy, wave crusher etc but at some point you have to think that 20-25 year old fiberglass has its limits.

OL was an incredible boat to ride in. As big as she was the acceleration still made you dizzy and she lumped right on through the big water.

I'm like the only person alive without a Facebook account, so is there any way someone could post a few pics of the boat for me?
Is this the 47 with the patriotic paint that's been at Turbine Marine?
Thanks for the info!
