Jason knows this is a tough crowd!
But he has earned our respect and has done a wonderful job getting everything out of his boat you can. I hope I can join him in the 90+ MPH club soon. Jason Smith 29OL Boby Todd 33OL Jeff Akers 36OL Who else is in the club? |

You cannot gauge by size alone. It has to be SIZE + FREQUENCY. If they are 5 seconds apart then I would agree and call BS. But if they are 30 seconds apart then it is a GREAT ride. |

I clearly don't understand lake boat measurements or terminology. 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. |
Dock,
I agree with every thing you just said. You assumed he was in the ocean, I assumed since he from Grand Prairie he was in a lake. I don't know if it is possible to create a 4 foot roller in an inland lake. { Great Lakes not included of course} There must be a formula that includes wind speed and fetch to estimate size. I have to get back to work break is over. Dock, enjoy the rest of your day. |
The wind was right out of the south at 40 gusting to 50.
Ben the motorman was there along with a few others. Trust me, they were 4'. When I would idle they would break over the nose of the boat. I'd say they were about 15' apart, peak to peak. |
