Well we went out last Friday for our first trip to the GS in the new boat and quite honestly got our ass kicked when we crossed into the stream. We were out just south of the big rock. I went with buddy who also had a new boat but had made a couple trips out there. I honestly thought the seas would be alot calmer so I am not saure if I misread the forcast or what the deal is. I am not a litle gunshy to go out this weekend. Below is the report that I am loooking at for friday and saturday, can I get some opinions. I have a 25' Grady with twin 150's. Thanks for your help.
