The return after lunch was even worse, we took PLENTY of waves over the bow. We were actually driving the boat up the waves and down the other side, but when we would get any kind of speed going we would hit a bigger wave and fall into a big hole on the other side. We should of had an Apache we could of averaged 80-90 mph in that water.

That picture is in the Presque Isle bay, great water for high speed runs. I should mention that on the run to Dunkirk we had three passengers in the back, my son a friend and the boat owners WIFE. She was a trooper never heard one word from her the whole time she loved it . you can see here sitting behind the driver in Sharkeys picture above.

That shot if I recall was not in the Bay.

2015 a few of us ran the boats out in the lake . We came out the inlet and turned left. Ran the coastline for a bit before turning around. I shot this just after we turned around...

You are right Tim that picture was from 2015. That was when we ran to Northeast Marina for lunch. You were there to witness it the day before the runf Friday we had 1-2 footers in the lake Saturday there are 4-6's Sunday back to 1-2 footers. You tell people this and they think your bullshyting them.
