We are near the lake but it was blowing at a minimum 3-5 in the morning and worse in the afternoon with large heavy rollers. The waves were crashing over our neighbors docks and over our breakwall. Not sure where you were running Phil but it was all bad near our end of the river. Looked more like october or november out there!

Kinda like a vintage Cadillac- sure the outside bodywork looks good in pictures, but you know it's leather interior with a lot of miles on it, and when you open it up you hope it ain't musty.

Sorry, but as a former freelance cougar surveyor, I feel it's my duty to inform others of the potential pitfalls.

.... And it was driving me crazy seeing you and ICDEDPPL agree on something for 5 minutes. LMAO

Remember when cigarette Sam would make all these comments that made it sound like he'd been in the sport for decades......
next time ill break out my tape measure... maybe they were 3 or 4 footers. it was a guestimate.. moral of the story is cafes are great riding boats.

ya once we rounded the point out infront of potters she was blowing HARD. was a great time till the rain started then the rest of the boat told me to turn around and they went in the cabin. i gotta come down to your end of the river and run next summer. getting sick of the upper end.

I doubt there's much ride difference in big water compared to a straight TG. Difference is 2.5 feet ? subtract the length of the notch and they're more or less even. Have run hard with guns when its gotten nasty out and seemed well matched.
