You guys must have different definitions on water conditions then we do. When the marine conditions are showing 3'+ in our area the 292 I've been in was far from "loving" or "skipping" across the tops. I can't imagine that boat ever making it to 65 in true 4'-5' without disintegrating, going into orbit, or significant bodily injury!

With that said, the 292 is a great boat... just not one I want to be in during 3'+ conditions.

My useless 2 cents...

HAHAHA...us 292 guys have become accustomed to running hard in big stuff. To expensive date and Splitdecision271, we had SS930 on our boat in some descent seas (getting bounced around). He is used to an OL, therefore his opinion doesnt matter. HAHAHA. jk.

Jersey guys are tough I have done it, its just not something we do all the time,It can be done but like I said you will!!!!!!! be driving it.Also the ocean is a little easier that a large lake that has waves running from all different directions.In the ocean they are usually farther apart and have a more gradual slope.

Like I said, great boat, but not one I would suggest for rougher conditions. Reading this someone could be misled to think that a 292 is decent choice for running in 3'+ conditions at speed. Well, I guess it would be if the alternative is a 21! No doubt the 292 will do it, but as someone pointed out earlier (Justin?), it's still a sub 30' boat that wasn't really designed to run in those conditions. Honestly, 3'+ seas get your attention in boats 10' longer, 4-5' seas are less than idea for a 29' boat IMO. Although as Expensive said, open ocean running is certainly easier running than confused chop of equal size...

Thanks to the "trim tab" thread, I just ordered the last set of ASPracing tabs that fit the Bennetts!

Agree its not the best choice for hard ocean running,it can be done but you need to be careful and be pretty good on the sticks.I did not intend to imply otherwise,but I guess what I wrote could be taken that way.

And I'm kinda Weird the one time I did it on a poker run my wife was with me......she did not think it was as much fun as I did.

3-5ftrs in Lake Erie 65mph in 292 no way

I used to think its a lake how bad can it be.Till I ran in a big lake,not anywhere as big as Erie though and it was only 2-3 that day.Its totally different from the ocean the waves come from all over different directions very hard to read.So I would have to agree.

I love that "WHAT ITS ONLY A LAKE" then someone gets caught out there and really learn to respect it especially us here on the eastern end of erie

Hey Cuposterchild...the boat came without any manuals/binder or documentation about it at all. I don't even know how to work the radio/Sirius combo. Could you get anything for me...it would be very appreciated.
