Default Re: 3-4 foot seas no sweat!

Just wait till you try some big water.

The first summer I had my boat, I took my daughter & her friend out in 2-3's to an offshore island, while we were there the weather got worse & worse, ended up coming back in 5-7's (I'm pretty experienced & I'm not kidding) it was something, it was hard to hang on with waves coming over the bow but that old boat just kept on thumping.

smoothed out after the pass, & when I got back I found my bilge pump had knocked loose enroute (major pucker factor) I have two pumps now & both are mounted better.

Turns out it was a tropical depression forming along the coast, not the best day but a hell of a test of the boat.
