When Lake Michigan gets rough, its rough. Theres just no getting away from it.

On long rides, such as Hammond to St. Joe, it becomes a endurance run. You Hull has to be up to the task, your rigging, Your engines, your drives, and mainly, your body.

Ive done a few 30 mile runs in big water. By the time you get back to the harbor, your arm's killin ya from workin the throttles, your legs feel like jello, you get emotional about what you just put your poor boat thru.

However, there is nothing more bad a$$. Running 75+ in true big water, is 100 times more fun than going 110 on flat water. Especially when you have some guys out there running with you, looking over and seeing your buddy just ''lettin it eat'' watchin his boat fly and listening to those bbc's load and unload.

When you put it like that, I do recall pics of you doing just that from Rynos boat on the way to the Mich City races just before the oil massacre as he put it in the engine compartment. Great run!

Well put! Makes me want to break my old tub out of winterization and go for a ride.

If I could get some liability waivers signed (including by spouses), I may have 3 available seats. I would auction them off and donate the proceeds back to the cause.
