Default 33 zx holds its own

it was a fun run back to Sandusky bay from Kelley's this past Sunday. I love the way the boat handled the lake. here is the vid I made before the battery on the gopro ran out. got to love fall running on lake Erie.

I agree hard to tell, I thought maybe one 4 footer around the 6:45 mark. What speeds U running and specs on your boat. Looks like it rode very level and soft landings. Looks like a good riding set up from the vid.

It was a big water weekend, I was going to go up Friday night but plans changed.

I checked the 45005 buoy often over the weekend just to see what was going on up there, and recall that just about all day Sunday it was reading over 4 feet.

I heard the slight screaming when the waves kicked up in the vid. Funny.

You were 60 mph at 3800 rpms ? Just asking what top speed does she hit ?

What about the screaming in the vid ? just messin. these are stock HP 500 EFI's. Any Extension boxes or anything else.

The reason I ask about 5 years ago I almost bought a 33 - 04 I think, it had 496's and it was a dog. Seemed to slam somewhat in the rough. I always wondered if the boat had hidden issues or had poor balance / CG or was just a real pig to begin with. The price of it was good also but. I still passed.
