stop being so insecure... im sure you have driven some big boats buddy... :grinser010: but if i wanted to insult you i would have singled you out out done it. i dont beat around the bush


This thread was on point regarding rough water hulls and some very good points were made.

It obviously needs to be broken down into cats and vees, pleasure boats and race hulls.

Now if you want experience to be a key for replying, let's limit it to people with 20 years or more.

Eh..."Sparky"?

What is the biggest water you personally have had your Apache in since owning it? Just curious.

well... i got see some pretty nasty stuff this year. went to texoma every chance i got, i even have a service to watch the wind conditions and alert me when they forcasted anything over a steady 25.. with he right winds and wind direction its not uncommon to see steady 4-5 footers on most of the lake.

got into some really bad stuff on the fourth when a storm and a bunch of fleeing cruisers made some 6'ers. it was funny cause the lake patrol even followed us and came to the boat after because the had never seen a boat hit those kind of wave and keep going...they just knew we were going to lose it at any point. we tried to get them to video tape us but they said they couldnt.

the problem with these lakes is you only get a mile or two of bad conditions before you have to shut it down and start over.

how about you what did you guys get into this year

you are missing the point my young friend... are you reading my post or are you like my ex wife and just hearing what you want to hear???

what points were made!

all there were is a bunch of people rattling off names of big boats, hell half the posts were jokes being made! i wanted to see if people would come up with experiences they had to compare to. stop trying to argue online and tell us what makes you come up with your conclusions. damn son!

Now thats interesting!

We came back a few weeks ago leaving in 3 to 5's and in 5 to 6's with a few 7's when we got closer to home. Very intense. We had that going there and coming back.

When we were out with LEOPAJM we were in 6-8's and it was whipping.

4 to 5 footers with 6 footers? Only single digits? You should try commercial fishing!
