Going out of Elk Rapids Harbor (Lake Michigan) in 7-8ft. seas with a few 10 footers. Note: the camera is mounted on hardtop aprox. 10' above water level Big waves @ 2:50 and 8:25
Great clip. Elk Rapids is our home port too. For those that aren't local he's only on one half of Grand Traverse Bay, he's still 15 miles from open Lake Michigan. Had you gone beyond the Peninsula wave heights would've certainly doubled. Fall on the Great Lakes!
So many keyboard captains.....the GoPro never really shows the sea state accurately and each captain has their perception of wave height due to their own experience and capabilities. Good vid in my opinion thanks for sharing.
I think he handled it well , no drama and every one returned on board ,unhurt , and still talking to each other . We have a tide running on top off that lot in the English channel , but your lake is nearly as big as G B .
Gotta love to comments coming from people who don't understand the difference in the great lakes waves vs ocean. Lake Erie can get nasty not only the height of them but how close they can be together. Great video
I had an 07 model loved the boat except in a following sea. They sit high in the water and you have to trim them right up to reduce the risk of broaching.
