Cool boat! I'm not trying to be a dic but even in 4 to 5s your throttles have to be pinned, boat trimmed out to reach 100mph and there's no way u can do that in 4 to 5s. Too big to not be throttling your azz off. My families on Lake Michigan not Erie.

LMAO! All the great lakes are different. I can run WFO in my lil boat on 4's if they are tight, Erie or st. Clair, just gotta get on top. Been on lk Mi in 4-5, further apart. Huron the swells are even further apart. Although I have never been on Ontario I have been told by multiple sources the waves are long and far apart. So I do believe it is plausible to run trimmed out at 100...

Hard to believe when lake mi is twice the size of Ontario

Ya I know. Just trying to score a free Gopro or make a friend lol. Seriously though each body of water is different. Lk Mi is somewhat spaced with some height. But if you were to run the same height water on Huron (they are the same body of water) it is well spaced and not as steep. From the handful of friends that have run Lk Ontario (and have run the waters here with me) I am under the impression the swells can be rather spread apart with decent height. That said, 100mph is possible in 4-5' seas. It is not a guess or an assumption. It is factually possible depending on water conditions. Yes I would love to see a vid also...
