Lake Michigan Apache sighting
 

Seen an apache 36 ft. saturday leaving and returing to the channel in Grand Haven. Water was really big, you could get water over the bow in the channel. Seen a couple big cruisers, and was suprised to see an apache. It didn't seem to have a tough time once out of the channel. Musta been a thrill ride. There is some serious rough water on that lake. You had to be carefull near the end of the pier if you were walking.

I guess the lake michigan regulars see this all the time, I was just suprised to see a performance boat heading out.

He's a board member, i can't remember his name now. Fast boat, I'm seen him out in some pretty snotty stuff. 2x hp500 with pro chargers I believe.

big boys ride... I like that!

I went out Saturday in New Buffalo for the last ride of the season. You are right the water was huge.

+1, he will be out boating until there is at least some snow on the ground. I would do the same if mine had engines:confused:

Beautiful boat...Blue Moon, right? We were rafted together at Coral Gables in Saugatuck in June when the bad influence crew hit South Haven.

That is big water for sure!

Excellent! Anything new going on the donzi?

Jim, looks like a standard trip to dockers was cut short by some cold water?:drink:

who was it that always said the great lakes were island lakes as far as waves were concerned? :)

that is some big nasty water

Thats why I love boating on the Great Lakes!!!! It cant get better than that!!

Great vid...that'll shut abunch of'um up! Ha!

way cool vid!!!!!!!

gotta love the "o ****" seems like those moments take forever dont they>? or at least long enough to get out a "o ****"

that's the boat i seen. and that is real water....

steve and brenda kicking ass and taking names great people!

Looks like that boat has a porpoising problem :p

Hey Parnell, The other choice was the fountain....I think we made the right decision. :)

Todd, we were talking about Muskegon. That boat handles incredible, what a great time!!!

Probably would have needed a wetsuit in the fountain

and in my formula:drink::drink: NICE VID!!!

I won't argue that

Thats some crazy chit. I've always been told there's monsters in that lake, and i think i just saw quite a few of them!

Fun Day!

Hey Pete off the subject but what was the weight of your boat?????

Jim way cool Vid , and i thought the lake sucked yesterday with 2 footers and 22 mph wind :eek:

Kudos to u guys :drink::drink::drink:

That video reminds me of Boyne Thunder! 5-6 footers all day long. Fun for a while then it gets old, especially that cold lake michigan water:eek:

Yup...thats some big water. I used to live in Mequon WI right by the water. Crazy ruff stuff we would see.

jim great footage. how the heck did you hold the camera so still ? you and steve have all the fun. thanks for the invite.

todd

I'm confused is that Valeko's boat or Riscola's boat?

Why don't I see any cats in that video:lolhit:

...and a change of underwear afterwards!:eek:

I rember that day well sort of.....LOL

Todd I just got lucky. Most of the time the camera was over my head

We were on Steve R's Apache. Ive got a 27' fountain

Thats what I thought. I've never met either of you but I knew you had a fountain.
