This vid does an EXCELLENT job of showing the water on Lake Michigan...no rhythm, no order...you have to drive by feel.
I believe its a 32 and My wife taught where his kids went to school , we still have the Agitator hat !!!

Find the Silver Cup Challenge off Navy Pier we we out in the rough patrolling the back side of the course with Candyman.

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!

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?
