ICED - maybe you just suck at driving.... aaaaaah!
I had similar experience down at the Nashville Run where you are running parallel to wakes, inside wakes, alongside, etc. I didn't like how the boat handled at all. Not sure if that's correctable in these hulls or not, boat doesn't like it one bit.
Had a friend a couple months ago spin one out at 80mph, not fun stuff....

Just like the Sandusky channel, the boat wakes this weekend were all over... Plus normal waves it's like zig zag boating!
I swear at ROTO the cruisers try to out do each other. Instead of "cruising" they try to push as much water and make the biggest wakes.
One of the reasons I don`t like the boating at the River Of the Ozarks, you can`t get away from them. Very annoying boating playing Frogger with everyone.
Cig pulled out of that one unscathed thou I had no control , wave bounced the boat sideways quick.

**There are only certain boats I would attempt this in though.

It was hard to read the water with that sun but I think that move is above my paygrade ^^^

You learn that trick boating on Lake Erie I can tell you that, kinda hard to explain but you kinda steer into the wave as you come off it... Lands straight usually
You can yank the wheel as you leave those odd waves that are kicking you into a bad landing. It takes a little practice, but you should be able to do it without changing your overall direction; (in which it was rather tight quarters for my tastes for running the snot in this video).

My video from Friday evening, was by myself with food winds so don't mind the bow line lol
You can see a few times I kinda steer into them and land decent Lake Erie is always sloppy in that area...

Yep, that's the ticket. You are basically trying to flare the ass end of the boat to make it leave said wave closer to perpendicular.

Saw the ASD boat Monday getting fuel at Kingdom City exit off I70... Ran inside to take a leak and came back out to him pulling off. Was really looking forward to checking it out!! Looked good from across the parking lot! Was even wearing a Cig shirt but rollin the company car...
