Jim...here's another vid I took off Miami later in the day...the waves were easily 6-8 feet...I just wish the camera had captured it better. Just watch the bow move and you'll get the idea...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orUQZ...ature=youtu.be
It is hard to see the water !!!

Good looking boat we like red boats our first boat was red!

Going to lunch with me and Dan?

I'd guess 3 to 4s. Guarantee if there's 6 to 8 on Lake Michigan none of y'all will go out. Plus the way I was brought up when you're in anything bigger then 4s life jackets are mandatory.

Again...you can "guess" all you want...I was in the boat. I saw the waves over my head on each side...and although I am not tall, I am over 4 feet tall...

Agree on the 6-8s, though...and (once again) the point of my posts is that despite all the big internet balls we constantly see waved on this site...the reality might be different.

And YES Jim...I'd love to do the run...although (don't hate me for this) I don't really like onion rings. Lol.

I definately remember your boat(s). I met you briefly probably 10 years ago when you first brought the Awesome 38 to Hammond...and then again two summers ago down in the Ozarks when you came to our condo to sell some parts for Mild Thunder's 38 Fountain.

Took some of the T-docks out on the Active Thunder in Key West last weekend...Jimmy and Ginny Vos and Tony and Laurie Jurkas.

Preview http://youtu.be/ttN2stWdoeg not sure how big, CJ or Parn would know. Maybe 3 to 5s with some big holes. This would be Big Steve and Valako in Blue Moon. (A couple of the old guys) They were still dialing in the SCXs. He had trouble keeping water pressure up.

Sorry to say I was out there with him and it was not 3-4s. And here comes the old wave height debate... Carry On

Heres a old video of me along the chicago shoreline years back. We were in my 40FT Excalibur Hawk, buddy in his Scarab III. Sorry about the crap quality, go pros werent out and we had flip phones. This was shot with a old CAMCORDER!! Not to mention lots of spray. As you'll see the old camcorder didnt fair well with water!. I had a rain suit on. Call it what you want. Id call it 6-7ft. Note the scarab gets swallowed up a few times. I laugh though when I see the claims on oso, of guys in 32ft boats claiming they ran 80+ in 6 ft seas. Sure.
