Thanks Kreed...I am a huge fan of them now myself!
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

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.

O and I have and will go out bigger,
You boat on Lake Michigan and that's what you get or go home.
I have been the only boat many times to leave Hammond and go out with big waves.

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...

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.

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.
