That video would sell a lot of Seacrafts, if they still made them! Nice video, thanks!

Just curious, speeds and wave height?

Thanks! We were going about 35 in the rougher stuff, which wasn't really that big, probably less than 2' but steep and close. At the end of the video we were running 70 in the river.
