I agree, not quite that bad, but I have seen some nasty days at Boynton.

Holy freaking bilge pumps ... looks like a few times I've had out on Lake Erie! You can see the deck scuppers and bilge pumps working full tilt. Best part of the video is at 5:52 where the guy comments "they're f'ing crazy".

I'm not sure biggest problem would be there:

- Not enough water depth (between the swells)

- Not enough power

- Not enough bilge pumps

- Not enough steering (to recover once slapped sideways)

No matter what, "not enough balls" was not an issue there!
