The biggest water you ever ran fast in?
 

After reading the last post I was wondering how big the biggest water some of you have been in at speed? At speed I mean over 50 MPH ?

lol about almost 2ft was all i wanted in my pachanga.

Well can't say 50's but I know mid 40's+ (gps was last thought)

4'- 7' ers and that was new years day in front of the Skyway. Pretty crazy being I have only owned the boat since Oct and my first time ever in that kind of water.

Every bit of 2-3,, in my 20' CC stinger, had it on the dash a few times 65 in some spurts. Had to do it, buddy swore his 29 scarab would dust me off. Needles to say I prob will never do that again, but only person at risk was me. Not big water compared to alot, but in a little 20ft,,,,,WHAT A RIDE.. ( but I dusted that ass off out and back in)

Point Pleasant 08 or 09(I think it was) after that storm came through saturday night was pretty big. It was a very unique situation where the wind was on shore at around fifty knots but spun around to forty knots offshore in the middle of the night. Kept the wave height big but knocked the span far apart. If I remember the coast guard said tens (and they were) but they were probably a hundred or two feet apart. Absolutly the funnest race ever! We could still touch a hundred and it was like running these big hills and valleys of water. You could launch and it seemed like youd kite down the other side like a ski jumper or something :D

4 to 6s in my mistress the day they called off the st pete grand prix for rough conditions about 7 or 8 years ago. i only saw one other perf boat out and he was just putting along, my mistress would only do about 68 or 70 with the 572s i had in it in front of #3s, and i had the sticks as far forward as they would go. my buddy was scared chitless when i launched it off a few 8s, man did we get some hang time. that mistress was so solid it was unreal, it ate that stuff up and didn't flinch... that thing was indestructible, hey it was the apache 41s daddy lol

That was some snotty stuff on Sat afternoon. Solid 3-4' washing machine with an ocassional 5-6' hole

yep i was there and it got crazy.

6' plus in of all places the Hudson River (howling headwind) . In my buddies 28 Cigarette. The waves were very close together, so he jumped on top of them and pinned the throttles. Beautiful, till the waves got further apart. Long story short, he stuffed that 28 well below the midpoint (height wise) of one of those waves, it sucked.
