Adventurous for sure !
How many hours was the ride back in the chop….ugh that’s not fun.

I’ve run into real 2’-4’ tight white cap chop on ocean in my V21 and it was not fun.
Tucked in behind a work boat that helped quite a bit .
If all goes as planned I’ll have a full report on how my 233 (24’) Formula handles chop.
Ran it last summer and hugely impressed but more conditions to evaluate .

It started off fine for the first 10 miles or so it was looking like we would be back in about 2.5 hours. Once it kicked up we of course had to slow down. I couldn't afford to go the comfortable route by just coming off plane and plowing through it because of fuel concerns. I don't know how long it took to get back but it was one of those deals where it was gonna be 2.5 hours, then over an hour later it became 3 hours LOL. Would've been no big deal with plenty of fuel.
