WildThing47 I'm a LI uy, and wind against the tide off montauk lighthouse = huge water. Was out in a 50ft custom sport fish riding up and surfing down waves. Stuffing the bow each time coming down. Gets nasty out there

Been there done that in Montauk. The rip at the point with the right conditions of tide, wind, waves is something to behold. Got stuck out there in a 21' Sea Ray a decade or so ago, had to surf those f'ers to the back side of the fork. Had on the life preservers, terrified, nobody in the boat said didley until we got back to the harbor...got lucky on that one.

from the islands east its not uncommon pending time of year

YES! Totally true story! It was my way of getting Ted introduced to offshore powerboating!! The boat handled it just fine and Ted did a great job running the boat!.... A little white knuckled but he did great!! LMAO.

2012 was mostly cloudy out on Saturday and Sunday and on Saturday a big storm was rolling in and everybody left at the same time trying to beat the weather.
Saturday 2012 was by far the roughest water ever leaving the Shootout.

Saturday 2012 was ROUGH. Hammered back in a 42' Fountain that took a beating. Only other boats on the stretch that were in it that we saw were a canopied Fountain, a canopied OL, and White Lightning. Memorable ride.

Hey Q, how about the time we were coming back from Boca Island a couple years ago in my gun. Or LV the time we went across Lake Maurepas I know I saw the bottom of the lake a few times.

There was also a green bat boat that was running that stretch hard.. He blew past us then we caught back up with him when he lowed down. I believe he's a member on here.
