Location: Des Moines IA		That bass boat isn't made for chop like that. I've had my 17 ft fiberglass deep V wide open in chop like that. It ain't comfy, but it chews waves. He'd of probably speared a wave wide open IMHO.

Tough to tell, but he didn't give it much of a chance...I probably would have punched it and proceeded to skip the waves.

By all means, go right ahead...I'd much rather ride with someone who drives safely and will not end up with a Darwin award...
