I didn't read all the post but I just found this thread. I was in the 38' and for the first and ONLY time I got soaked head to toe in my boat and that includes shootout weekends at LOTO, fun runs, lalala. I also grew up in Florida and started working on deep sea fishing boats in the Gulf of Mexico at the age of 13 and worked on offshore oil boats off of Morgan City, Louisiana after high school. Those were damn well 4 footers and probably some big ones thrown in. As much as I hate to vouch for that sharp toothed POS JasonF'nSmith this one is true. Cheney Lake was rated to have the second or third highest average wind speed year round of all lakes measured. That's average wind speed 24 hours a day seven days a week! As far as the 92 mph I can tell you when I spottted the people in the water and slowed down Jason ran up the middle between my boat and those in the water and it looked nearly as fast as I've ever seen it go. The three people in the water had been in the water for hours and until I came within a couple of hundred feet of them they said it was so rough they could hear boats but had not seen a one. Did Jason mention how flustered he gets trying to throw a folded life jacket into the wind when our buddy is in the water with his built in defibulator kicking the sheet outta him?

I just read this thread and I would have to say no way on those speeds in 4ft waves. I know inland lakes are different but on Lake Michigan the waves are really tight and I used to own a 28 Cigarette and go out in 4 to 5s and there was no way I broke 40mph unless I was going down the wave. I am sure your boat is very fast but my boys with the 38 cigs and 41 Sabers are lucky if they break 80 let alone 90MPH in real 4ft waves. People's perception of waves are way off in alot of ways. Here is the wave forcast for tonight and this weekend on Lake Michigan in Grand Haven and there is no way you would be running that fast in those waves.

I don't know he has convinced me that they were 10 footers!

I will give him this:

That is one very rough inland lake.

Here are a few pictures of 3 41' Sabers in the last SOTW and we were in real 4 to 5's.

Its hard to jusdge in a photo. Those look like 2's in the pics esp if you arent paying attention to how much air those boats are getting.
