Me and wave were in his bay boat, doing 45 mph, 1 1/2 to 2 footers. I
thought the ride was pretty good and tolerable...

That's because you were only hitting every 4th or 5th wave.

Good point.

Your error is in assuming that the weather and wave patterns on the bay
are the same over the entire area. Doing 20 knots down the Miles River
is no great feat.

And after that we crossed the bay to a location somewhere near your
backyard. No waves here either.

The occasional wake or cross wake that sneaks up on you
will make the boat pound, but that's true for the hull of any
manufacturer.

Ahem ...

Not so fast, there Short Sport.

What? :)

See Wayne's response.

No, not true at all. It is true for all planing hulls however.

Not if you are in a boat that is longer than my house and half as wide
- I mean we're talking real boats here.

Ok, that didn't come out right. :)

Allow me to rephrase.

Not if you are in a boat that weighs about twice as much as my house.

There - much bettererer... :)

Does your house have a displacement hull or a planing hull?

I'm betting displacement.

Oh the shame of it all, but at least it doesn't pound. :-)

Maybe if you put more power on it...

I'll tell you one thing, the day that my GB pounds will be the day
that I once again try to improve my golf game. Actually, anything
would be an improvement.

I tried golf once - gave it a whole year.

I gave it up because it's just too stupid for words.

I felt pretty stupid at the end of my first year too. I still feel pretty
stupid occasionally. But, the times I feel good about a shot are becoming
more and more regular.

Maybe you just gave up too soon?

No - it's too stupid for words.
