Heres a little Lake Michigan rough water action for those Apaches and Skaters, I'm sure you guys could go flying right by this guy in this little boat, Smitty:evilb:

I'd be hard pressed to believe the imco scx drives coupled to 1300's, would last running like this every weekend for a entire summer even running like this. I'd want 6's or asd's if you wanna run all out in anything more than 1ft chop. And this isnt really ''big water'', but is on lake michigan. I'd think even repeated running like this every weekend with 1300's, the 6's would be needing frequent freshen ups.

A tour of "real Chicago pizza" could take a while; many, many categories and many more judges! Enjoy!!!

Great video. I wonder if a 41 Apache with big power could get up on top of that water and make a real run of it. What would you consider that water, 6-8'?

It doesnt seem like Fountains are invited on this big offshore challenge slash onion run! I may have to watch these big boys run from inside the break wall where Fountains belong :cartman:

I will have my 38 Lightning there to give it a go!

One of the big advantages to the Skater is being 20-40mph faster, it can afford to run soooo much more locked in in the big water, and still be faster than the Apache running as loose as it can be
