Not so young grasshopper.... Amplitude and wave height are one in the same- measured from baseline/waterline to crest. That's not just surfsmack.... it's science!

Well, the United States Army Corps of Engineers' Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory, who publishes the Coastal Engineering Manual, disagrees with you. Waveheight is measured crest to trough.
Ocean waves are measured from Sea level-to wave crest... so 4' wave gives you 4' of crest and 4' of trough- this equals 8' of wave "face" Looking at what he said and your chart to me they are the same thing. Using the still water line add the trough and the crest and you have the wave height. Trough + Crest = Wave Height |

I was just trying to help JS justify what he thought he was running in cuz there were a dozen people calling BS! You measure crest to trough... more power to you. If JS thinks he was running 90+ in 4' seas... More power to him. More power to you both! ...Whatever the numbers are, I'll know to divide by two. enjoy.... I'm going to go smoke some weed! |

500 EFI engines with Merlin Heads and 741 Crane cam with ECM reprogram = 598 HP at 5400 RPM Here is exactly what I just copied off my last computer scan from last year. This report is huge but if you email me I can sent it to you so you will see first hand. Idle = 2.36 GPH 1600 RPM = 6.56 GPH 2150 RPM = 10.48 GPH 3200 RPM = 18.92 GPH 3500 RPM = 19.56 GPH 3800 RPM = 20.62 GPH 4000 RPM = 22.06 GPH 4200 RPM = 27.31 GPH 4500 RPM = 31.48 GPH 4800 RPM = 34.35 GPH 5000 RPM = 35.76 GPH 5200 RPM = 38.04 GPH 5299 RPM = 38.37 GPH 5400 RPM = 40.75 GPH Note what happens over 4000 RPM. I hope this helps you out and answers your question. Remember this is per engine so on a twin it is times two. Cruise my boat at 3800 RPM and you are burning 42 gallons per hour. |

Good for them. but is still wrong to me. I can dig up a hundred legitimate sources that measure from sea level to crest for wave height, including my old school books from Oceanography courses at U of MD, but I think I'm burned out on this topic!

There's people calling BS because it's tough to run that fast in 4 footers. But I have been out in those "just right" waves before when you can run on top of them. From his posts I believe Jason is a straight shooter and he was running hard in some big water. Everytime there is a thread like this there is that one person says a 4' wave is actually a 2' wave, a 6' wave is actually a 3' wave, etc. If you think the Coastal Engineering Manual is wrong...more power to you. :D |

Are we not talking here about sea conditions? There is no such thing as rollers in a lake. There is wake and slop but not rollers. I assumed when he said 4 foot rollers he ran the boat in the ocean. The wind to make a four foot wake in a lake would be caused by a tornado and you could not boat. I'm not trying to be difficult but I assumed we were talking sea conditions here. |
