If you can find a bass boat that handles 3+ foot waves "smoothly" let me know, I will buy one that day.






Im not saying that its the same smoothness as being on a calm day, but have you been in a Champion on a rough day? Theres something about the way they cut the water with the big deep V hull.


I think the dry part is impossible, the wind will blow the spray back at you no matter what brand you have.

Well from my experience, no matter what BS someone tries to tell you...if you have 4 foot rollers...you ain't "running" them. You're trying not to drown if you're smart. I've had a 202 Champ for 20 years and it does get me home safe every time out. I can run three footers at a decent speeed. That's basically under 40 mph usually. Trying to run anything more than that at much speed and you'll launch. (ask me how I know this!) But this thread is simply trying to find the best riding boat that will fit the parameters given. Let's keep it at that please. Thanks for the feedback guys. Still looking for a BAsscat Eyra ride in the Austin area. If anyone has one I'd be glad to pay for gas and lunch for a ride!
