Thanks to you and 14 Apache too for your comments,

I do on other sites, but I know it is a business for these guys so I will provide what info I can.

We are working hard on the HORBA site to totally revamp it and that will have a lot more info once we finish it.....we do have a link on HORBA to OSO, always tried to support the sport in any way.

Bahamas Poker Run 2006- About 72 miles of ocean in 4ft+ waves and it rained for a few miles:

Lesson learned, stay home in crappy weather because the Bahamas in the rain sucks (nothing to do)

Nice Picture Scott! Over the last few years we've had some more rough crossings. Last year (or was it the year before...) I was thinking, "what are we doing out here?" Seemed like 10ft. IDK for sure.

I wouldnt know where to begin with some of the water you fellas are posting, I've ridden a long in 2-4s in lake Erie but the worst I've gone through in my 22' Scarab is the chop at the 2013 Lake Cumberland Poker Run, some sloppy water at times but the little Scarab had no problem running 60+, although it was a handful.....but damn, you guys can keep that big water stuff!

Living in northern Michigan we get to run in the big lakes. Typically I lose my flip flops when I try to run in water over 9" deep. Bare footed I'm good to about 18" but I stumble a lot. Our dogs are far better.

Tickfaw in 2010 I think when a storm blew up it was 3-5' washing machine in my 42' lightning. RB (42 GTX) and I all the way home over 100!! Broke both front bolsters, and several of the doors including the bathroom door ripped off the hinges but it was worth every cent to fix!! Several small cats and a couple V's came out with us and turned around and went back into the cove but not us...

OK, one more..

I remember one PRA poker run which I believe was out of Sarasota…Probably '06… We had the Cig 46 American Muscle 3.. Rough run.. got halfway to the lunch and the bolts on the engine hatch hinges broke off. Almost lost the hatch. Rigged it to stay on for the ride to lunch… Bud was on the controls… We rounded the corner to go under the inlet bridge.. He said the boat felt funny… Then said he had no steering… barely made it under the bridge without tearing the side of the boat up. Tied up. Found loose hose fitting, ran across street to a marina to buy fluid and some bolts… Got it together just in time to leave the lunch stop….
On the ride back south, I think it was a real honest 5' most of the way. We went past the 44 MTI Speedracer. They apparently didn't like it and had to get ahead of us… He went off one surprise swell…maybe a 6-7', at an angle. I looked over and saw the boat in the air literally on its side… Somehow he saved it. They did it again shortly after… I remember yelling at Bud to let him go before he killed himself..so we slowed and let him "win"...

dean gellner can can confirm as he was on board for the ride.... telling me to hammer it!

It would look like 3-4s on video! I'd like to have seen Speed Racer on it's side though.
