I don't have enough motor..only a 200.Can only run 81...someone with more motor would have to step up. I can run WOT in small white caps 12" waves or less and in 2 foot waves I prefer to run no more than 70ish but I am new to the bigger boat, only been out twice so far. I do know I still have slow down considerably for barge wakes, especially the ones going up river and wakboard boats pulling surfers and wakeboards or it will leave the water.

So a SOB can run WOT over barge rollers that are eye level at rest? If it is buttery smooth that is impressive. The allison will survive it but it is jarring.. I have hit them at 70+ in the 2003 before and gotten airborn...I have not tried and have no intentions of hitting them at those speeds even in the new boat if I have the chance to slow down.....on the Mississippi when they are are going up river you hit the rollers long before you see the barge.. when the tugs are pushing 9 or 12 barges up river they really kick up some water

I'll put some pics and video up later of our last race... No wakes cos there was nobody else out, but plenty of airtime and some nice splits in my outboard well!!

One boat is designed for fishing...the other for racing offshore. Stop drinking your livewell water and get your head in the game . These are two COMPLETELY different boats. My boat will beat up on an Alliston in the rough but it doesn't compare to a Tuff when keeping the speed up in the junk...

Our SOB style boats weigh in rigged around 2100-2600lbs, 21 degree deep pad vee (at least) and run over wake water waves with no second thoughts holding between 69-90 mph. SOB class was made to run ocean and large bay waters which get very choppy and 2' might be considered average to small waves more often then not. We actually go faster with more chop/junk then not.

People often exaggerate the size of the water they run in

You wouldn't run 80-90 in what we race in, last weekend we had Bobby Saccenti's new 42ft Chief with a pair of 725 ilmors over endurance racing, and they weren't running that! Fastest average speed for our racing this season had been 71.3mph, that's over his 3 quickest laps of a 4 mile circuit, and it's a 26ft cat with twin 260s. The 20-23ft single 200hp boats average below 65mph, and there's at least one capable of 80+ top end in race trim

Regardless... Lake boats are not gonna do it. I can run my boat in the white cap type water you are referring too at pretty big speeds.. But I know I don't like the feeling of being air borne in my lake boat... Especially the landing.. lol. Dok's boat is built WAY stronger than mine, or any Allison for that matter. but runs fairly similar.
