I am sure someone has told you that size isn't everything
Of course you can call me "Big Boy" for short...

ACE, you might wanna make pece with any Spanish traditionalists by moving the courtesy flag to starboard side?
My red ensign (I'm not in the blue camp) makes a brief appearance @ 16 seconds here
Never mind the flag, that is some wake in fairly significant seas!
I presume stabilizers allow you to do that?

Those were proper big seas. They always look smaller in photos but in reality they were proper big waves. It had been blowing a f6-7 for several days and I think we had 30-33 knots o terue wind on the meter
I was amazed by the boat. It wont go comfortably into waves like that but with waves beam on like that,, or more abaft the stabs are transformational. You can see the transom top is rock steady - no rolling. I was doing 20-23 knots and could have done 100miles in that stuff. A that speed the stab fins create so much force they can deal with pretty much any wave, without going anywhere near their full deflection. At one point the stabs tripped out (a false alarm "low oil level" which has now been fixed by a software update) and we were stabless for 30seconds while I reset the alarm screen, during which we smashed a lot of glasses and crockery. I think the stabs did it to remind me how good they are

Yihaa! Sounds like you experienced what Andretti meant when he said that if everything is under control, you're not going fast enough...
