Is this going to happen?

Tomorrow would be a good day for the onion run. 7'-11' with an occasional 15'.

It's roaring out there right now.

Pretty sure the Saber is not running rite now either

If there is an Apache that can run 130-140mph it can be done!I'd come watch!!

Yes if it is in September after Labor Day and assuming I don't break the boat at the LOTO Shootout.

I've rode in both a 41 Apache and a 40 Skater in some pretty nasty waves and I'd say If they had the same power I think the Apache would win in the long run..... I believe the Apache would simply have more control in 4 - 6 footers....

I don't know. I've seen a video of Freedom US-1 (I think that's the name) run in 4-6 and the boat seemed like it was barely breaking a sweat. You could have sipped a drink in that boat.

It's a 46 (?) Skater.

Freedom is a 46
