Not for me!

I will admit this is the one thing I will never do. I can’t imagine riding these waves. Video is new and only 2.5 mins long

no thank you indeed

Neat video. Wonder how that effects the mileage?

Hard pass!

I almost got sea sick watching that...........................OUT

The one near the end that smacks the windshield is like watching a punch in the teeth in slow motion!

In this case your hoping the welders and the engineers all did did excellent jobs.

I remember that day on Texoma.

Not many would want to do that but sometime you don't get a choice. I think all sailors end up in that sooner or later.

That didn't look pleasant, but they were probably fairly safe. That would be a whole lot worse in a smaller boat with a lower wheel house.

Oh hell yes, I’m in.

Oh hell no!

Nope, not interested!

can you imagine how tall the waves have to be to hit that windshield ? my word man,.

Of course I do! Along with our early morning ride from hell on I20 out by Abilene

BassCat would cut that like a hot knife through butter.

My 2001 Javelin would handle it no problem

not even if they paid big six figures would I do it . I learned a long time ago , the ocean is NOT for me .
I had an uncle that owned a 14 foot Boston Whaler . He used to commercially fish for salmon in the Pacific outside Santa Cruz as a part time weekend job( made tons of money ) .
First time I went out with him , we were about 10-12 miles offshore with 10 foot swells at 8-10 seconds apart --- being seasick would be an understatement --- never puked so hard in my life for 6-7 hours .
The stupid part , he didn't know how to swim , so he didn't carry life jackets at all , he felt like if he went in the water , he was dead anyway . I am certain my folks didn't know that part

My BIL told me about going thru a typhoon while off the coast of Viet Nam in a destroyer escort (1970) and they took water down the boiler stack in a big wave.

Seen bigger on Roberts with a NW wind.

I think that was Hop driving that boat.

Not for me. Like watching an episode of the Deadliest Catch!

not me.

I would have had that sucker airborne and trimmed up hard, if you ain't bruisin, you ain't cruzin!

Conroe on Memorial Day Weekend

I was thinking every tournament we fished on Ray Bob this year. Lol.

That’s just crazy

I Agree!!

I'm sure theres a Champion owner or two in here that would call it a light chop

That made me sea-sick just watching the video. I just don't see how those tankers stay upright in those kinda seas.

On YouTube, they are saying Keith on the Wizard (actually it was his brother Mouse), took a wave that destroyed the wheelhouse. Had to call the Coast Guard to tow them back to port.

Dang Wake Boats, dun messed up the whole ocean. No way I would want to be on that ship.

Pa told of a time on a heavy cruiser in a typhoon during the Korean War when he had to climb the main mast to fix the radio antennae that was taken out after a big wave. Ship was rolling 45 degrees.
Rock and roll!

Reminds me of a few years back when I went deep sea fishing out of South Padre after a night of bad storms. Was a rough day, even the captain got sick We still caught a few, but I said never again!

Yup!

I went on a cruise prior to Covid. It was as rough as I care to be in the ocean, 60 mph winds and the entire front deck was off limits. The waves we’re crashing over the front deck of a big cruise boat. I was sick darn near the entire trip,

meh, the 202 wouldn't even think about having a problem in that.

Spent my early career working offshore on small research vessels in the 150’ to 300’ size class, rough seas suck as much as it looks like it does. I’m glad to to have people doing that for me now.

That’s why everything you get from China has those little silicon packages in them that say do not eat.

Back in 1977 we were coming back from Rota Spain on the U.S.S. El Paso after a 6 month Med cruise and had to travel thru a Hurricane that created waves like this. I worked in Combat Information center ( CIC ) right behind the bridge on the 06 level. I asked and got permission to go to the Bridge and watch some of these waves happening in real time. Just absolutely awesome but scary at times. We did have a Wave break on the bridge windows while I was up there. Some crazy stuff right there.

Looks like Tawakoni coming out of Wolf with 40 mph winds out of the North. Although I don't have a windshield wiper

I went out ocean fishing once off the coast of Oregon....and that cured me of wanting to that again....and the waves weren't even remotely close to those. I stuck to buying the fresh catch off the boats that came into the harbor at Newport or Coos Bay.
