Imagine hitting a 5-foot "speed
bump", and then imagine hitting another one every several seconds.

Now imagine doing that in a 30-36 ft. outboard-powered center console for 80
miles each way at 30-40 mph. Welcome to the SKA (Southern Kingfish
Association...a.k.a. "small kraft advisory").

Those guys are certifiably insane.

My Grady will run at 15-18 mph in 4-5 foot chop without pounding. I've run
it 22-26mph in those conditions, and it's murder. The secret to those SKA
boats (Contender, Yellowfin, Fountain, Sea Vee, etc) is that they get up and
run on top of the stuff.
