Sure I would have done that turn in my TG. It wasn't all that. Just a turn. But don't forget - it was on Smith Mountain LAKE. It was quite smooth and raining too.
I have taken faster / tighter turns in my TG w/o any issues.
Now that Tres taught us how to turn stepped boats, I wouldn't hesitate to turn the AT or the TG 180* (tight) at speed.
Can't wait to see Macklins new toy!
I think I may be almost as excited as Macklin. He will be the 'go to' guy on AT's in rough water. You river boat guys don't get too much "water" up there. Brian, you had to go to MI to get some bouncy stuff! Saw the video; that looked "nasty".
Of course - in a Cigarette, we'd all be relaxed having cocktails in that kind of water. . . . .

Hey Jassman! That picture from the "archives" brings back some memories! That was a great trip wasn't it! I'd just like to see any kind of boat other than the barges/junks pushing stuff up the nasty HuangPu river here in Shanghai!

Some from the pages of history. The 1st 2 were taken in 10' in Lake Mich. Nasty nasty day that was. the last one is from our sea trial the day it was delivered. That 32' was/is an awesome boat. I sure miss her.
