- Going out of Elk Rapids Harbor (Lake Michigan) in 7-8ft. seas with a few 10 footers.
Note: the camera is mounted on hardtop aprox. 10' above water level

So glad they didn't overlay some irritating music onto this. I appreciate the sight & sound of these point-of-view videos. Cheers 👍
Finally, someone puts a gopro on a bar crossing.
This brings me back 50 years. My father had excellent piloting skills and mother was a brilliant navigator.
Every weekend from just past ice out until the first winter snow we were out there. If the watch hill light was flying small craft warnings we would stay inshore.
There was plenty of times that the small craft warning was put up in the afternoon when we were 25 miles offshore.
We tried not to pound the boat but sometimes you have no choice.
While my peers were smoking dope, listening to led zeppelin in some dank basement, I was with my dear departed parents in a blizzard half way back from block island.
A good way to grow up. I suspect that overzealous government agents might object to taking your children out in 15 foot waves in a glued and screwed wooden boat.
It is all coming back to me. I clearly remember people hitch hiking to the Woodstock festival.
They got to spend the weekend in the cold rain and mud. It was very unpleasant on the boat that weekend also, but fun nonetheless.
Alvin Lee playing Going Home with steam coming off of him demonstrates how miserable the weather was.
That was so rough water! Awesome camera setup, really felt like a VR Ride!
Awesome video loved every second Looked to handle very good in the heavy seas
Nice video. And excellent behavior on rough seas. Great boat 🛥️👍
Great video you can almost feel the following sea ! 🇺🇲
Great clip. Elk Rapids is our home port too. For those that aren't local he's only on one half of Grand Traverse Bay, he's still 15 miles from open Lake Michigan. Had you gone beyond the Peninsula wave heights would've certainly doubled. Fall on the Great Lakes!
I wish lake Erie would have those nice spread out waves like that! Due to our lake being so shallow, the waves get to 3-5's and you gotta call it a day because of how close together the sets are. :(
I think he handled it well , no drama and every one returned on board ,unhurt , and still talking to each other . We have a tide running on top off that lot in the English channel , but your lake is nearly as big as G B .
Gotta love to comments coming from people who don't understand the difference in the great lakes waves vs ocean. Lake Erie can get nasty not only the height of them but how close they can be together. Great video
Grew up fishing on Erie near Monroe MI. The waves are no joke.
East coast gets similar large but short period waves, the west coast gets HUGE, but the wave period is double or more than the great lakes and east coast. Once took the NMLBS instructors out of Ocracoke inlet in 6-7 foot breaking bar conditions, direct quote here "How the F-- do you DO anything in this!" Also will point out that even though this is 4-5 foot seas, this is harder to deal with than 14-18 foot seas on the west coast!
Rough seas for a 26' boat awesome video ! 🇺🇲
Yes perfect ruvr ocean boat
There are some big waves that clearly cover the horizon at 8:25 and 2:50. Since the camera is mounted 10' over the water, it confirms that the waves are at least that tall at those times.
@@blewyd Are you sure this is the definition of wave height ? Better look it up. This is definition of amplitude=height/2
@@blewyd You measure a wave from trough to crest sir.
So many keyboard captains.....the GoPro never really shows the sea state accurately and each captain has their perception of wave height due to their own experience and capabilities. Good vid in my opinion thanks for sharing.
love it :) nice camera veiw
I had an 07 model loved the boat except in a following sea. They sit high in the water and you have to trim them right up to reduce the risk of broaching.
You can see where the water is breaking so far forward you've got the bow of the boat pinned down too far he's up on the trim or the trim tabs the ride would be just as good can you get much better fuel mileage happy boating :-)
Logan's same way won't capsize 8 foot waves but won't sunk food big waves no xapsing
what was your ave speed?
Now that's a sea trial
Thanks for posting
Great piloting skills and speed control. Those waves would have been on the limit for my personal Go/No go meter.
Very good ride, what yacht is it?? How many feet?
Thanks 😊
what is up with the glitchy noises at the beginning of the video
Was it realy necessary to go in that conditions?
Looks like fun 😄
power loading?? never seen that sign at a ramp before.
Getting sprayed with freshwater instead of salt would be “Refreshing” 👍
@Noah Cutone imagine alt cold
Nope boat grease watt hose iff
Where are you . how big was the waves ..???how big is your boat ??
Next to the Pangas, Stripers have a great hull design if you can find one that's affordable, it'll keep you a lot dryer.
Hopefully comes with the wetsuit
Excellent nav❤
Your go pro dont give how rough it really is..i kno becuz ive been thru it its rough but to other they might not kno!i think it did great! My 86 center cousol takes big waves nice i was very surprised i was going to get another boat but since it handle so well im keeping her so i bought a new 115 yamaha now its even better..i get wet but i make it home everytime!
Still have it?
@@Nick-ip7ks yes sir! I would not give her up for nothing! Just did a run to the farralones in calif. It was a calm day but still surprised how good this 19footer is! Ive been in very rough seas and i cant thank this boat enough of kicking ass and bringing me home every single time! Love this boat! If you look up Mavericks thats were im always at pillar point half moin bay anyone that fishes out here knos how nasty it can get!
Piscator 2DeePIn ThIrtYODDsIxeR glad it treats you well! It’s not the price tag or size it’s what you enjoy. Also Smaller boats are better for fishing in my opinion. You can get into more paces.

Nice video
what be better? striper or bayliner trophy? i've been looking at both lately.
Striper hands down
8:30 prob the biggest wave of the video
Dont you just love people that have never been in more than a choppy wind storm at their local lake. They know exactly how you should maneuver through all waters and an expert in all boating categories.
Have not met one yet
Even my keyboard got wet!
Iof
No flair on the Bow design
Just curious to know if you had any Hull damage, cracking for example. I have the sea swirl 2300 and it’s hits VERY hard in 4-6 foot waves
Ben Alvarez it's a boat... The hull had no issues and it didn't hit hard at all considering the wave height. For hull cracking to occur, the boat would have to be pushed much harder in much larger seas
Tim Stoldt I guess what worries me is my boats age. It doesn’t appear to have any visual cracks or damage, but it’s a 99’. So I’m sure the hull isn’t as strong as it used to be.
All boats inds can. Take it no pibkes 8 foot 12 fit waves fir 23 fiut boats

how's the build quality of these boats?
Very tight like Lugia searsy fishing boats
I wished I lived there and could go surf waves for fun
Very good nose diving!
Never saw waves, kept watching to see if bow cushion would blow away.
@@blewyd I launch over waves like these on an 11' long wave runner at 50mph.
@@blewyd There was a few even larger than 4 footers! Yeah i kno i hear the stories i was in 45 foot white caps every 5 seconds in my 14 foot kayak took it better than this..I dident even get my jacket wet..Ok..sure keyboard captain!!
@@blewyd not at you blewyd at the captian hook above you!
Good piloting of the boat. Those Lake Michigan rollers are not for the novice boater.
Me and my dad have a boat similar so now I get to know what we can take
Good for you
This is so Mutch fun
I just bought one of these boats. Haven't used it yet. Looks like it can handle some rough stuff.
Did you use it now?
@@3JS2001 lol no my marina up in ontario Canada were in lock down still . The marinas are opening up today so I should get out next week
Yes they can
Lugia fishing boat searsy
@justin sam yes , didn't get back since the last season. My boats in Georgian bay ontario canada, and the boat is absolute beast. When the weather changes on you, you feel safe, and it's actually fun when it gets rough, lol.
Not really throwing the water well. Could be a strong headwind as well.
Cool
Good video. I don't know about 7 feet. Those would be death waves. Still, very rough. A few looked up to it.
ñop death waveß
where are the big waves??
This is like .5ft Hawaiian
looks like she handles well. thoughts?
no problem going into the waves, a little tricky when going with the waves. You have to trim the engines up to prevent the boat from bow steering (broaching). I also went to a prop with bigger blades (Enertia) to get more grip in following seas. Had a lot of prop slip with the stock props (vengeance).
Enjoyed the video. If you are like me, you avoid days like this, but it's nice to know that your boat performs. Off shore fishing with today's technology is very safe for people with common sense. Where was this filmed??
Brandt Vickery Elk Rapids, on Lake Michigan
but the engines didint seem trimmed up when you were returning.
I would not call the handling good in these mildly rough seas, water displacement splash over the deck is pretty excessive and it pounds to much.
For 26 foot, good ride. I love the Gulf of Mexico.
cabin cruseré dó better thiughh
searayv260 suñdaxer
Why does everyone exaggerate the size of waves. Is this like a D measuring contest? Definitely heavy seas but nowhere near 7-8' with occasional 10's. I'm trying to research Sundancers in rough water for a possible purchase and almost every video they have 10' seas. My gosh!
can small cabin boats take in water from the bow without issues?
Striper boats will redirect all water taken over the bow back overboard. I see a lot of walkarounds where the water will end up in the cockpit.
Yes they can every one below deck stormy weath

My skills are fairly basic, in these conditions I trim down, back off the throttle, hit the waves at 45 degrees and NEVER get parallel in a trough. But that’s probably a bigger deal for me, in my 13 foot speedboat I I try to avoid this stuff where possible. That said, I’ve been surprised at the size of waves she has coped with by adjusting the trim, angling her bows against them, easing on the gas to climb the face of each wave and backing right off down the other side into the trough.
As long as the waves are not breaking any boat should be able to take any wave if it's not loaded up with weight, well that's my estimation anyway
13 foot? That's basically a jetski lol
Of it's 13 feet it's not a speed boat..
I would be fine in my 17 foot bass boat then. Not!

Overall I really enjoyed the video. I would just love to see you driving the boat instead of the window cam.
Good video but please just secure that anchor
This guy will be to be a pro captain to drive a big boat and not tip phi’s boat over he know what he doing
How so?
Yes he will pro ship driver captain licen uograde
9:14 woman: why are we returning back?

14:00 woman: I've finished your beer!
Man: why didnt you say so?
No way dude!! I've been out on buzzards bay countless times those waves aren't even breaking..
How much
How much what?
Views? a bunch
potatoes? idk

Proper title would be boat crossing a bar
Sounded like it was underpowered.
Rae Anker 100% agree. Trim the boat down, give it more power, and stop the nose from diving. The waves were not that big the boat should not have been going almost nose under.
trim the bow down? In following seas?? Ummm.. Opposite of what you should do.. Have you been on Lake Michigan? Our "rollers" can be tight. Looks to be about a 2.5 second or less interval. 6-8 ft waves with a 2.5 second interval or less is rough day out there. No cabin boat, much less a 26 footer should be giving it throttle to ride on the top or bust through 6-8's. It will pound that boat to pieces. Trim properly and take your time is the proper way..

All over now
Why do it

Nothing there over 4 feet.
Nice video but these are 4-5 with occasionnal 6-7. Most obvious when you are going following sea. ;)
Agreed. I live and surf in SoCal and those waves would be described as chest high with occasional head high. I've paddled a canoe in rougher seas than that.
Aren Kagan I really do doubt that. Keep pretending bro🤣
Dode Music bigger I own this exact hull and those waves are a lot bigger than that.
Remember that in a following sea the wake stands up the wave behind you and adds about 2 feet of height to the actual wave height - this is 3-4 foot chop - still enough to be dangerous to the unskilled.
It's great work but getting on the plane or going that much faster would have been a lot more fun and better control
Na the boat would've gone flying and would make for a much rougher ride
would he not be better off quartering those waves ?
I would not go out in that weather mate
Ben Thompson it’s honestly not even that bad it’s pretty fun to fish in I’ve been in a lot worse than this
I agree
Ya it’s not even white capping.
Nice hull design...too bad they are built with a chopper gun and polyester resin, resulting in a ridiculously heavy, crack, and rot prone hull.
Really?
Real boat, not a townie party boat
Nope tough fiber gkss
The rollers in this sea are nothing. I have gone out on my 12 foot aluminium dinghy with a 15 hp outboard motor in rollers / seas much bigger / rougher than whats shown in this clip in NZ. Some of the swells / rollers were longer than my dinghy.
You are incredible!
Did you catch a shark by hand as well while you were at it?
Ocean waves are way farther apart than out great lakes waves, you wpuldnt make it in a 12ft boat here
Yeah yeah don't even lie. Nobody is going to believe your bull shit with you on your kayak
Ok 👌
Lol..I would like to see you try that in san francisco bay! You would be on the bottom of the bay heading out towards hawaii in no time..All these dam keyboard captains are funny as hell..a dinghy in rough seas you funny leprechaun.
3-6 ft with a couple 7 ftr
Gimme some dramamine
Good footage, not 7-8ft seas. Waves on the horizon would appear like they were taller than the bow and/or hardtop.
waves. still waiting for waves
It's a Striper, surprised it didn't snap in half, or roll over.
Party boat townie 😂😂
Needs more bow flare. You really shouldn't surf the waves. Power thru them or power down momentarily.
Just curious , why not surf the wave? I surf swells but not waves that are cresting .
@@hightidelowtide6380 swells n waves are different. When you surf, it increases the possibility of broaching due to loss of control.
@@captaintigger2657 I agree but different circumstances call for different methods.
Would love to take my Blackfin Combi into this slop. Deep-v hull would make short work of it.
Oh dear... not trying to be mean here but that chop, not waves is 12-18 inches.. so 1 to 11/2 foot. Watch crayboats with jets pull pots in 4 to 6 foot waves on dry reef Western Australia. Infact don't you'll have a coronary.
The camera is 10 feet above the water so they are 7-10 foot waves.
Not the best day to go out
Cool vid but there was not one 7 foot wave in there. never mind 10 footers. Come up to Buzzards Bay MA and I can show you 8-10 footers. Again....cool video tho. Looks like fun to me.
Its hard to tell size of waves in a go pro fish eye lense.
Ahh yes; cue the CZcams wave height experts.
Start of video destroyed my ears. Surgeon says they cannot be repaired! Almost died of boredom.
I missed the part where you were forced to watch.
Get on plain
B
You were traveling way too slow. following seas need trims tabs all the way up, bow up and the hullabaloos needs to be faster than the waves.
Bunch of bull just choppy water maybe 2 foot waves
Matt Stephens your crazy
Matt Stephens Sure, if you’re Stevie Wonder.
Dangerous waves. Should not have been out there
You clearly haven't fished Australia's easy coast lol
Scott Oleson your mommy still kills spiders for you doesn’t she
Lol these weren’t ‘dangerous’ that’s just your average day a lot of places
Rough Seas! Stay HOME!!!
Rough seas, strap things down and let's go play.
rough?
Seas are only mildly rough, but no issue with this or better boat.
Unnecessary beating poor Boat
Eduardo Martinez there no beating there, he is going at good pace w
It’s no hull slap
A good boat this is not considered a beating by any measure, it does ride rough and water over deck is excesive. A crappy boat would not even be out in these mild seas.
Eduardo Martinez How the hell is this considered a beating? Calm seas don’t make for good sailors.
Not a very bright idea testing a boat in rough water with a forward hatch open. It’s mistakes like that, that ends up in big big problems
It is not a hatch. It is just a seat cushion that is buttoned to the seat.
No sense
Just like dirt bike skeets
