Navigating through boat wake
Here's a situation Ive run into a few times with my V. I have no problem taking on other boats wakes staight on or from the side but the other day I wound up behind a 40 footer who was going slow and kicking up a solid 3 foot wake. Not wanting to stay behind him I turned but then had to make my way through his wake. So basically my boat was going in the same direction as the wake. Quite franlky it was a bit scary as it felt like we were going to get swamped and even cap size as I tried to go through it. Most of my boating life was spent on a sailboat so I really never had to deal with this situation before. Any advise would be appreciated.
