Holy Cow! Glad nobody was hurt when that wave came over the bow and the front went down. My wife would have completely freaked out and people on both sides of the lake would have heard her screaming. Glad the 3rd toon helped prevent this in the future.

My wife would have put a for sale sign on the boat the next day! Glad everyone was safe.

The wind was blowing over 40mph and that was enough to make the like like a washtub. The lake is 10 miles wide and never gets deeper than 12 feet
Mike may have gotten to know that lady a little better. :donno
