We didn't take on much water. Had the ex go up front when the hatch broke open, too bad I didn't lose her lol. Seriously had my doubts turning around. Going with them was better. Ahhh good times hahaha.

Sorry to correct you but LOTO does get seriously rough and there is no rhythm you can get into to go through it. Put 50 cruisers plowing the main channel (plus all the other boats) with the wakes bouncing off the rock walls back into the lake and it turns into a washing machine of 4-5'ers. If you haven't ran in it, you can't comprehend it.

But be honest are you saying that a Y2K is gonna run 87 in that kind of water?
