Now come on! If it dosen't taste like salt it really isn't OFFSHORE is it! and yes I did live in Michigan for a while.:o LOL

Here you go! Rated for 30 foot seas, 20 foot breaking surf and 50 kts of wind. Of course it won't go fast but it will roll over and keep going.

Stay warm :D

I saw one company that made a 80 or 90 foot with a performance look, engine options from 55-85 mph. Cant remember engine sizes or GPH

I saw a discovery channel show about going into the columbia river gorge from the Pacific ocean. They have special pilots just to bring the big ships through the swells. It was amazing. I would love a copy of it if anyone has ever seen or recorded it.

Up by Monterrey they surf in 50 footers. And we think Offshore guys are crazy.

Tom, I saw that. The fishing fleet's got BIG BALLS.
