I remember a trip when I was 14 from lake st clair to Georgian Bay in my dads 272 formula. When we headed across Lake Huron we got caught in a storm about midpoint. We were running with a 41 stinger, 40 Excalibur, and a 32 baja. When in the trough everything disappeared, land, boats, everything. I had on my life vest and crapping myself! I would have said they were 15' waves but come to find out they were 6'-8' with occasional bigger. Huge rollers. We were small enough to fit between the waves, while the 40's were stuffing just about every wave! Both lost windshields!
10'-15' isn't something you're going boating in. |

Here is a great Michigan lake video. What size do you think the lake was rolling then? I bet boatme will chime in with what the forecast was that day.

Lately every thread is somebody posts something and 20 guys jump on him and tell him he is full of sh*T.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to tell wave height from a video. I agree if you look at the waves it doesn't look all that rough, but look at high the nose of that boat is launching. That boat is 46' long, you think a 4' wave will do that? Have you ever actually been in a 46 Cig? I don't know if the waves were 8' of not, but it sure looks rough. If the guy who was there says they were 8', who am I to say that they weren't? And I never met Scott Shogren,but I have to believe he has driven a boat once or twice and knows how the trim button works. |

Question:
So what is the best rough water boat anyway>? I'm thinking about buying the 55 MTI when I finish painting my 40 skater. Will I be able to launch the MTI off 50' waves? I heard cats can handle 90% of their length in wave height as long as you are "packing - the -air" or something like that :confused: EDIT:in case it's not obvious, the sarcasm switch is ON |
