Come on... A gun having problems with 4 ft seas?

Mechanical or driver or some other issue.

Just like when a Surfer hears a storm coming.... :drink:

The adrenaline gets pumpin' ! :evilb:

It's always better to go out in it then let it get slammed against the dock... No fun in that.... ;)

Re: Cigarette Vs. Apache

Parn only goes out then it's rough like 4+, I know I have been with him or along side of him when it is rough, he prefers 6+. If it's flat he takes his Skater out, he's the only guy that I know that is not happy if it's calm out. Steve

This is what makes OffshoreOnly such a great community. Parnell's selfless concern for a fellow boater should be an example to all of us. I would type more, but I'm starting to tear up...............................

Best chuckle I have had in weeks :drink: NK

A debate that has raged on this board for ever is what constitutes 6-8's cause all water is very different and of course another debate is what is fast in rough water. Both legitmate points that never get resolved but you are very wrong about me not going out in them. That my friend is what I live for, sadly. :rolleyes:
Also when I referred to the sixes I was not referring to 6's holding up better, that is a given. I was pointing out how much difference they make in big water. More stable and they stay hooked up so much better that any boat with them is going to run faster in rough water if the boat is the same. My top gun had bravos when I ordered it cause I couldn't afford sixes and now it has sixes and they are so much better that it's not even close to the same boat. The drives muscle the boat not the other way around. This is Nykamp and I in 4-6's last fall running 75 on Lake Michigan. No one was around to take a pic except the beach cam. Fun thread. :drink: NK
