That illustrates rather nicely why West Coast designed boats are far
more seaworthy than those the East Coast wussies use on their local
waters. Takes a real man to navigate the West Coast.

Yup, that ol' well designed 2252 handled such inlets with ease. But
then, of coarse, it was designed for and on those waters. I know
Bayliners are very popular as fishing platforms by the guides in Alaska
and was a bit disappointed we didn't see a few of them running that
inlet. Perhaps their runs were not just dramatic enough. Oh well, at
least them eastern dudes can don their commodore caps and navigate the
mighty waters the Chesapeake and Floriduh...on weekends.

Run that by the Alaskan crabbers and see how it flies, Sporty.

i cant stop watching that - its amazing.

espiecally that coastie running around in the background in that
double ender.

damn thats fun to watch.

Did you notice that it looked like some of the boats were heading out to
sea, and the coastie turned them around? One boat "surfed" into the bay
on a wave. It looked like he was out of control, and God was the only
thing between him and Davey Jones Locker.

speaking as some one who actually lives on a coast line, unlike
certain others, im more than familiar with what it takes to run an
inlet like that.


Snipper's never run an inlet anything like that, and neither has anyone
else in a 22' Bayliner.
Bayliners are a great boat for the proper conditions. I would not
recommend any of the "family boats" for conditions like that.

Do you have *any* experience operating a 2252 Bayliner? Neither does
Krause.

Skipper,
No I do not. I did not say that it could not be done. I said I would
not recommend any of the boats designed for family recreational boating
for this kind of inlet. I did not limit my comment to Bayliner or any
specific brand of boat.

either that or he had to restart his motor.

Or change his underwear.
