I know! That's what we call Tuesday around here. Shallow bay, a little bit of wind, a few boats and there is no way to hit them just right so you just have to drive through it and I have a 19' boat. A 40' skater would be like driving a cruise ship.

Lake Michigan waves are almost always close together, and 3-5 footers can pop up in no time. My wife always yells at me to slow down, but that's literally the worse possible solution. Angle the boat towards the waves, trim it right so you stay on top of them, and push the sticks forward!

Slow and steady.. waves break closer to the bow and the ride is worse
