We stood our 382 almost straight up trying to get out of Little Egg Harbor Inlet in NJ about 10 years ago. Enough is enough, and too much ain't worth it. Besides, you'll chip up the wine glasses.
 
Looks just like my inlet did on my first trip out in this boat on the way to a poker run Friday night ho down. Had my buddy in a 28 Nordic following me. After I got my drives and tabs set I looked back to see him running back inside. :seeya:

I had an absolute blast running this boat in that stuff...compared to my previous boat.

They are really nice boats, but as I"m sure you know, they're not rough water boats. Sure, they'll get you home, but they're creature comforts are not built for pounding too many big waves.

I've had 2 of them myself (F-206 Spider & an F-311 SR1), and my Dad has had 2 as well. We loved them ALL, and he still has his hard top 400ss, which is a FUN boat. It's tough to beat an express cruiser with ALL of the amenities you could ask for both down below, and up top, that will run over 50mph with 496's, much less the 525 package. She's a keeper :cheers2:
 
That water does get nasty around the Channel Islands. Biggest water I've ever boated in was right out my back yard.

Swell report was 10-14' this day. Nice and spaced out when we went out so not a big deal...Later in the day though, they were stacked up a bit more. :eek:
