I've come from the north down and have run into nice waves.38 Top Gun loved them.had a blast that day.

Yes, that is a great video, particularly the bit with Warpath, I don't think there is any better footage available than that, totally breathtaking! The vid of Razz is pretty awesome as well though....

Try this one for size, if you get board, fast forward to 6.25 and watch it from there.... JH Electric/$ Marine Special, now called Warhorse.

that is what i just don.t understand the attraction of having a large offshore boat on a lake.

If you have never ran some Huge Glassy Swells after a big Cold Front has blown through for a couple days you haven't lived to see the true fun of owning a big offshore.

I was stuck working building a Walmart country store in coral gables and we used to go down to Deerfield bch pier a lot after work. Not that being stuck in south fla was a bad thing. One of these fronts you speak of was rolling through but being a few miles inland we thought nothing of it. When we got to the pier we though we were in a surf movie. They were absolutely perfect glassy tubes with 3 to 4 feet over the top of your head waves. Never seen anything like it. It was beautiful. I could only imagine the valleys between the waves that were offshore.

Boatme , great video but you can't compare that to the first video of RAZZ running in the ocean . The Chief runs hard but the Razz Apache is cataching serious air . I live in Toronto and boat on lake Ontario and I have nevere aired my flat deck out the way those guys were flying that 41 !
