The best rough water boat is any boat that IS NOT being driven by THE WIZARD

Anybody who calls me "my young friend" can't be all bad...... but he must be either damn old...or some kind of politician.............

He also call's me "son" and I know he ain't my father...... although I got married in Oklahoma once......(Durant to be exact).......... Maybe it's the other way around....he certainly shares my winning personality......HMMMMMM...let me think about about Oklahoma girls in the 70's...... I'll check with Brownie and get back to ya.........

Personally, whenever I watch that amazing footage...... I turn the sound off......

Ironically, most of the time so do I.

But that's only because my work computer has no sound, and that video is a great way to spend the work day.

well thats cool as hell if you are the commentator on that vid, but i dont see how you think i was calling you out or insulting you by what i said in my post. if anything it was a perfect opportunity to teach some of us people "new?" to the sport a little of you expertise. hell you were even talking apaches up!! do you think i would insult someone who has some of my own great taste??? i dont think so my youthful comrade!!! i guess i should spend a little less time working and a little more time getting to know all the screen names on OSO?? according to your friends lol

btw i was making a dig a "daredevil" and trying to have some fun at his expense... im sry you thought i was degrading you!

so with all that out of the way.. t2x whats is your favorite rough water ride?

I was there for those conditions, unlike somebody else I know ......sustained 25mph winds 40mph gust. The 28 ate it up so I know the 41 would have swallowed it whole, we had 4 go-fast newbies on board.........they wanted to go faster. In the back of my head I was going threw the T2X commentary..........eaten up the reef. I launched and looked down and about chit my pants.

I never thought you were degrading me.........but I couldn't figure out who you were zeroing in on since most of the posts seemed to be pretty logical...somewhat of a miracle on OSO

My favorite rough water ride...for racing? Based on great performances....

Cat-40 Skater

Vee-41 Apache.......or the Apache Heritage (which was the only big Apache that ever impressed me.)

Of course this is a "pound for pound" thing and the big Buzzi will blow them both away, but it is so huge that I don't think it's a fair comparison.

the lake patrols reactions after they pulled us over were priceless!! all their eyes were wide open and they were so surprised to see someone hitting those condtions at that speed. im not going to lie at one point i evn got a little nervous cause the boat was launching way more than i expected it to... i shoulda had t2x on my ipod so i could have been even more inspired... hows the boat andy?
