32-34 rough water handling

My boat runs 75-80 in Lake Michigan...regardless of Fountain's rep as "not a wave-crushing, rough water boat," its all in how you drive it. Boat flies level and is just long enough to span the Michigan chop without issue until it gets over 4'...but at that point, you might want to stay tied to the pier. I've been out in 6s and running 65 mph...I don't care what boat you are in with the size range you have mentioned...in 4-6 water, you will be flying.
And mine might be for sale soon...
For the record...its JIM Porter with the Phantom.

if I put some tab in the mistress and run big water she don't fly .... it is however easier to stuff it in big water just gotta find the happy spot in it.....knowing the boat is half the battle...

IF i was going to sell, i would say buy my boat... BUT, its not for sale
i would look into finding a 33 PowerPlay. KID's 33 AT also hits the rough stuff very well.
SMARTY how much for the white and purple phantom? those are both bad ass boats! Not 100% sure about the very best ride in that class... but a sweet ride for sure!

"My 34 Phantom is hands down the best bang for the buck. Brand new everything this winter. 675hp naturaly aspirated, Xr's, -2 Shorties. 105mph on GPS so far and still more dialing to do, not to mention we have had 90+ degree weather since the boat has been finished. Turn key reliable absolutly needs nothing and will run through any water you throw at it. Ran AC poker run at 90mph in the ocaen like I was in a 42' boat. 65k takes it. I have that invested this year. Im moving into a cat, I just cant seem to go fast enough. LOL"

The picture was taken a few years ago, previous owner. This is a nice boat.
