you would be very surprised how NOT hard Apache and Cigs land, I have yet to feel that "pounding" in my Cig that the Baja gave me...

Yea, I got caught between Destin and Gulf Shores trying to get back when a storm came up. I don't think the water was that big but it was a miserable ride back to say the least. It was fun for the first 15 minutes, after that not so much. Just wanted to get back.

Thats one of Brownies boats, I doubt he had to do much after that ride besides put it on the trailer....

Same thing in my PowerPlay, no bone jarring hits, wonderful hull for the slop.

I boat mostly in Long Island Sound, one of the best waters for boating IMO. Usually fun slop during the summer, however during the dog days of late July-early August it gets flat as a pancake at times. However it kicks up plenty when it feels like it, for instance when all the contestants turned around during last years's Don Aronow run.
