Big Water Boating

These are all great ideas...I tend to feel, like Lucky, that about 15-18 MPH is the max in water like you were describing. I took my new 195 out of the Barnegat Bay into the infamous inlet and beyond a few days ago. The boat handled well and tracked best with the most comfortable ride after some trim and throttle adjustments. I was also facing 5 footer's in a following sea coming in...I'm very pleased with the Triumph (my days of kidney crunching are behind me). It just takes time to get used to how your individual boat handles. Keep your life vest handy, or better on, as you learn. Safe boating-John
