Apache vs Pantera Ride

CFD, I don't know what kind of water you run in, but I don't see any waves at all... not 1 wave within 30ft of your boat(figuring your 28ft).
That is a 1/2ft chop at most, w/a 4-5ft swell.
No disrespect intended, and your boat looks great!!!

Normally I don't get big water where I run. (Lake Cumberland, Ohio river etc.) That was in Lake Michigan at the 05 Chicago poker run. The pic is decieving but trust me, it was rough. I was told 4-5's with big holes.

This pic was taken at the same run. It doesn't look like big water but enough to get this 38'? Formula air. No disrepect taken, I know the pics don't do it justice.

4 to 5s on Lake Michigan are big waves. For example anyone at this years Smoke on the Water got a taste of real 4 to 5s. I was in one of the 4 41' Sabers that kicked the **** out of everyone and there was not a single 28 let alone 32ft boat anywhere to be found. Infact only about 10 boats ran the second leg because it was so rough. I am sure the Chicago Poker run was rough but if it was that rough there is no way either of those to boats, 28 Apache and 38 Formula, would of ran the whole run. No disrespect to either boat just done alot of boating on Lake Michigan and they were not in 4 to 5s the whole time.

I was was with CFD in 05 at that poker run. Not sure if they were 1-2, 3-4,4-5's, BUT they were rough! We definetly got air that day!
I guess looking at that picture is kind of like looking at earth from a satelite! You just don't see the hills and mountains!!

And talk to "Thrillseeker" about 28 Cigs & BIG water...His spends most of it's life running when others wont

nice and level off the waves at 40-45mph It was absolutely unreal. Landed like a dream.

Or better yet, any witnesses?
