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 ?
no, too much hull is in the water when it flat water, in the big water is where the 41 apaches shine

You're out of your mind. 90MPH in 15' seas. Sure you were.

Why we need to have this run. Too much talking not enough running. I say that and it will be on some weekend I can't make it. Fall softball will be in full swing for the daughter. I can have some input if we get the date set now but am sol if the tournaments are picked first.
