Re: Aircraft-carrier water...?
Man! That the kind of water we looked forward to back in the jetski days! 
I have a picture stashed somewhere on a day like that in Michigan city where the waves were soild 8-10's.....and i'm in the air a good 8' over the tops of the waves....its such a rush to look down and watch as you fly over a hole and the bottom is 18 or so feet under ya! I almost want to go get another one for those small craft advisory days.......almost.....

Re: Aircraft-carrier water...?
Still got my modded 1990 550SX in my garage waiting for a new motor this winter... This is the first year I haven't ridden a Ski since I was 11 years old! Sold my 750 standup and my 750 sitdown last year, and I do miss them on the wavy days!

Re: Aircraft-carrier water...?
I've still got a 46 Cig sittin in our driveway, that's got a bunch of fuel still in it waiting to get burned up. 
The owner called me today and said that if it's nice out this weekend, and he can't make it down to the harbor, just take the boat out, and empty the tanks for him. 
I'm hoping that I won't need my snowmobile suit to be on the lake this weekend.
