I'm not going to get into the cruiser wake controversy because I've never had to deal with them and to me it looks like an average size boat wake or maybe just the perfect storm of a couple of wakes that dumped them, but I did find these video's that show just how much trouble the cruiser wakes can be on our boats .
The people on the boat are having a good time with the trouble they cause .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCVPU...hannel&list=UL .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ktgn...hannel&list=UL

No confusion. we were on the Poker Run on Friday. I was just trying to get people that do not boat at LOTO an idea of how rough it gets there by showing the video from Sat.

I feel bad for everyone on the boat but I am glad it wasn't much worse. The big man upstairs was watching out is all I can say.

Who gives a **** if it was a poker or fun run. To much throttle, to many people, not enough common sense, PERIOD. Infact being that he was going to be on TV, he might have let his ______ hang a little more then usual( not that we all havn't did it) But this time he got bit, Still would never let them hang with that many people on.. By my self or with a good buddie is different

wow, seeing the frame by frame is really something.
this video is everywhere/nationwide. making a bad reputation worse. I'd like to hear what the driver thinks now in hindsight.
