After looking at these I am thanking my Guardian Angel. I had to get a 16' Larson back to the harbor when a storm blew up on Lake Huron. I was going against 10-12' waves for 2 miles. Fortunately I had plenty of power and the boat handled it well. Of course while I was 100 yards outside the harbor I lost throttle control. All the motor mounts broke in the outboard and the screw for the throttle cable shook loose. But I made it back and not even a gel crack anywhere on that boat. I've also been out in 8' with my 280 Velocity. After watching the Donzi video I won't do that again. I had the boat so far off the water my wife could see the entire boat above the break wall of the harbor. Maybe I need to take it a little easier.
That's the surfer dude commentary. Priceless!
