have we not been here before

check this cool clip out of a 46' rough rider. www.youtube.com/watch?v=inUuxJAQMcs this sure looks like a heck of a fun ride. big 46 trimmed up and bouncing around. i love these boats. ok i hate to say it but 12' - 15' waves? i have been out in almost every water lake michigan has, and to many time's should not have been out there. 6'-8's are big if not huge, 8' 10's you are for sure looking at them from the side of the boat eye to eye, most likely above your head. i had a ride in a apache w/1000's in 8' 10's on the lake and omg. we were not hitting anything head on. we were hitting them at every angle we could, most of the time running down inside of them. most of the time not able to see anything around us. sure was fun. not knocking this boat at all, how could you knock 46' cig. just knocking there tape measure. lol

This was the source of a multi-page clusterf$%k on OSO...

Eventually Scott Sjogren, who was on the boat, said it was 7-8 foot...person who posted it to YouTube didn't really have much experience in judging wave height.

Taken off Waukegan harbor in IL...

Crazy how much cameras flatten out the water, though. We were in 6-8s off Miami when I took this video...

15 footer is pretty huge

If I locked my knees with my legs straight into the cockpit wall/floor corner in 6-8 footers on Lake Erie, I'd break a leg.

Yeah, 12 to 15's are huge. It has to be a perfectly smooth swell with big spacing to even try to go fast in those. I believe there were a couple offshore races in the old days where they talk about 10 to 12's and boats passing other boats and looking down on them between the waves as they skimmed from top to top in a couple boats.
