Default 38Zx Eats Waves on Lake Mi
Fun in some 4-6' swells. A few hidden 8' to keep the addrenaline going.

What other boat can eat these waves so comfortably... none!
And, let you sleep comfortably watching movies afterward!

they are wave crushers. Nice video.

Please tell me you didn't bottom coat a 38ZX.

Cool vid. Drop some tab and put the throttles further forward next time. Maybe some vests too.

You're right. No other brand of boat could do that.

Great video. That is my FAVORITE thing to do.

Awesome footage; and that really does look comfortable. Maybe try running some West Coast breakers aka Donzi Water in NorCal next season even:

I agree, that is 60-70 mph water all day long....and would have been a smoother ride

The waves always look smaller on video. Looks like you guys had a blast. Carey Downs, Pier 57 sold me my little Donzi new in 2005 and it goes off shore on the Great Lakes all the time.
