Went out in some sustained 25mph winds with 40mph gusts. Definitely the biggest water I've hit so far with the apache. Clearly the boat is stronger than I am......... I feel like I got stomped by a bunch of mexicans...........and don't ask me how I know. Maybe 5's with the occasional 6. Boat handled great. At slow speeds it was a tank. At speed it was all I could do to keep my droors at 50mph. Hopefully a little more seat time and I can get more comfortable working the throttles. I feel like this boat could have handled a lot more with the proper training and/or experience. Tons of respect for the offshore racers.
