How Tough and Durable are Lunds? Or how do you drive ur boat in rough waters:?

If you are going over 2-3 swells at 30-36mph and the boat is hitting the waves hard like falling from 1-2 feet, is this ok for the boat or not?

Question is, in rough water, short of making sure that we dun capsize, how do you guys drive the boat? Thanks

My favorite way to head in under weather is to either quarter the waves or take them head on. I prefer to try to get the boat on plane and keep the throttle open just enough to stay on top. If the seas get too rough, its a slower trip.

The notion of WOT in rough seas is foolish. Just because a boat can handle it here and there, doesn't mean they are designed for that type of consistent abuse. The human body is even more important in all of this. Especially in tiller boats, the captain has the best ride, it is all rougher from there.

There are a whole bunch of people that have been thrown from boats that don't get a voice here. If they did, the one thing they'd tell everyone is slow down and always wear a lifejacket under power.
