She would do ok in a 1-2' chop if you were running in to it or with it only. If the chop was coming from either side, it and the wind would push you to run with it...the boat couldn't handle the inconsistencies of boat wakes at all, could never open it up on a weekend and I was on a 16 mile lake, nothing compared to a Barnegat Bay weekend.

I will say that the 222 seemed to be a better ride than the newer 230 hull that year though, but not much.

We'll see how he does Sunday.

Just my $.02.

Thanks,
Mike

Nice. Im sure he'll be fast. 637hp, shorty noseconed alpha drive, modified bottom, and a LITTLE boat. Seems to have all the makings of a 100mph boat but.........the backpeddling did him in. You cannot claim 104mph and then back up to 85mph....especially with video of a claimed 93 mph run just a couple weeks ago. Go for 100 or dont go at all.
