I'm a Grommet here. This is the boat that drew me in to the Forum. Found it up in Montana. I haven't been able to find out what it is.

[QUOTE="LightMetal, post: 493995, member: 32308"] Wolves, you are so right. I've sailed the Santa Barbara Channel and the channel islands for about 45 years, and sailboats can handle that scenario. Motor boats do need to outrun the waves (and they are huge right now). But I wouldn't take a potato chip like this on the ocean except on pretty glassy days, and if this motor runs well (my hope), it will be a 25-30 knot boat. Not much risk. Appreciate the perspective though--you are absolutely on. I have a couple of friends who (long ago) did get nailed. One didn't make it. [/QUOTE]
