The new boats are more than capable of running hard in big water, I don't know why there aren't more videos.

i think it's because most peep's can run fast in flat water but it take's someone that know's how to run a boat to handle the rough stuff

Thats the biggest factor right there!!

That's one part. Another part would be design, I'm sure Steve1 could answer this, but I will give it a feeble attempt. If a powerboat is designed for rough water, then it will not be as fast in the smaller water. And vise/versa (different bottoms for different water conditions) There is no single design that is great in every type sea . Another part is build quality. It seems rough water powerboats need to be stronger/heavier constructed (kevlar & vinlyester resin) than the faster small water craft. Another question Steve1 can answer.

Here's 4'-6'/ 5-7' on a photo shoot with no steering in the boat due to an unknown bad helm. It was the 'maiden voyage'.

525s, 80+. No handling problems with a 'modern' boat.

Gotta give the wife credit for hanging on and still looking very good.

So there's your modern video. Single step. Designed and patented.

Think more is better? Think again.
