[QUOTE="Shoedawg, post: 390060, member: 13490"] I remember a trip back in the 90’s on Lake Powell, where I was on a 1960’s something 15ft boat, when a fast moving storm came through and we hit waves at 3 feet. The boat was open bow. We made it through the storm, with the driver doing an excellent job of guiding through the chop. But it did get hairy. My step-uncle was on the same trip, and had a brand new Bayliner, 20ft, 150HP, the works. We was a rich man, who had the best ****, and knew it all and had more experience than you. Well, his boat got swamped and we found him on some rocky island, in the water holding his boat, while the waves were pounding and tossing his new boat onto the rocks. The boat was full of water and the bilge was working overtime. I was glad he was safe, but found it kind of funny that a 40 year old boat and smaller, kicked ***, while his brand new top of the line was roughed up. Experience does count for something. [/QUOTE]
