Anyway, the boat landed and made this god awful sound. Mr. V's son fell to the ground and hurt himself and busted the back out of his bolster. The Apache kept cruising along, we barely felt the wave.
After that I saw all I had to see so I left Mr. V. out there with his bruised son and broken boat and went back home for a cocktail!

We ran away from you in the rip when it got snotty, after getting around the hook and about a mile down the beach we stopped. I went down in the cabin to grab the camera, had to unpack it first, took a leak and then took the following attached shot of you. You ran past us, I went back in the cabin, put the camera away, got on it and caught back up to you. It was when we slowed down to your Apache speed that we lost the timing and took the hit.
Didn't break the back out of the bolster, just took the padding off. Kid wasn't hurt, just was looking for a little sympathy. Watch him around your wife, he knows with the pink boat she'll be an easly steal
Then you said you were going back for "lunch" turned tail and ran back in. Yea, I need to run in for lunch after a 10 minute ride too 
We ran over to Coney Island that afternoon while you were tied to the dock at Wind and Sea. Hmm, need to see if I have a pic of that too.Just so you have the facts straight. Looks like I am always going to need my camera.
Here's the view when Panther is runnng "along side" you.
Just so there is no confusion.

The great lakes can do the same thing, the only other place I've been that can also get like that is Corpus Christie Texas It just beats the crap out of you.
Although a good east wind can make Long Island sound just plain suck.
As for inlets, ran into Jones Beach one afternoon, the ocean was Panther flat yet there were 14's in the inlet.

I just watched that vid..congrats on the win
But racing and pleasure boating are two different things. In that Corpus Christie type water you can snap a boat in half if you land wrong at those speeds. The way I see it with pleasure boating you always have the option of slowing down, the goal is to have fun and try not to break your boat so you can enjoy it the next day. But it's a good feeling to have the confidence to make it home when the water/weather turns bad.
PS: Great video....Are you done racing or will you be coming out of retirement anytime soon?

If you're not going to run it rougher water then you might as well buy an Apache and stay in the river with Panther
Personally I love the snot, it's the only time you'll see a big smile on my face while I'm in the boat. There is no feeling in the world when you're airing it out.

I'm home all day, just need to slide the boat off the lift. Dee is stuck on the train
Spoke with her this am, not happy camper. Give here a call, see if it reached 100 in the train yet. Looks like they are going to be stuck for a while.Oil, does that mean I need to carry the Optimas from the house to the boat now???? Well at least they are charged.

Re: Northern NJ spots
Mr. V, I have to admit it sucked that day around the hook. When you guys took off my wife said to me, "Look at him, you're not going to do that. Please don't do that." as I knudged the throttle forward a little. She started freaking out! As I say; "My rev. limiter started kicking in."
Next time I'll leave her home so we can play a little longer.
