We are talking 8-10 ft seas correct ?

I will say we were running 90mph in 15ft seas in argentina, with 900hp per side, old school 40 skater.

Will an apache even go that fast in smooth water ?

:whistle: Your waves must have been a 1/4 mile apart. Smooth water Apache ??? Yea right. Don't meen to take anything away from Skater but really ???? :bong:

We will be at the bar anyhow if the waves are 15 ft

I've been enjoying this thread. I love Apache Powerboats & Skater puts out an incredible product, no doubt. Here's an old b&w Apache video with Kramers 41 running through (what I consider anyway) big offshore water. Enjoy the old video & get some good video of the Onion Run. Have fun, be safe.

1) Estimated date(s) - I would vote for a Saturday so it could be run on Sunday if weather is a problem.

I thought the point was to see what boat was the bad ass in the roughest water possible:evilb: so I guess if its on a Saturday and its NOT rough enough it will get postponed till Sunday??:lolhit:

Bingo! That was my original thought.
