<DIV>I had a 28 ft Carver until just recently. In Puget Sound, WA. One day we were just south of Seattle doing abt 13 knots when we got caught in a Storm. </DIV>
<DIV>Now I know that 8 ft Seas don't seem like much to you Navy types, but 8 ft Seas in a 28 foot single engine power boat are deadly. especially with the wiered and Strong Currents of Puget Sound. I was full left to full right for 1 hour and very close to broaching twice. I may not be Navy but I sure learned some leasons in that Carver.</DIV>
