And some vid of a cat on the same day...don't know if its a Skater...if so, might be a 32...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1hswPvm_44

This vid does an EXCELLENT job of showing the water on Lake Michigan...no rhythm, no order...you have to drive by feel.

Isn't that a sabre or something? I believe its called clifford? Anyways, too much negative trim! I dont think the waves were making it jump, it was hoping! :lolhit:

Yea that is what is so impressive about a 41 Apache set up correct and driven properly flying level at all times, the CG is off or trim but that boat is bow heavy or tripping across them.

Also....whats the deal with race boats now-a-days? How come they dont fly high like the vids of the 90's? Do we not race in 6-8 footers anymore? Have the waters changed???....Are the new designs that much better that they stick to the water? Are drivers not as crazy as they were back then?????Whats up? :party-smiley-004:
