I too, hear your problems, but I think alot of us forget, that under the water condtions at the time, some boats are not suitable for the type of water that one may see. I myself would not take a low freeboard or Pontoon boat into the ocean with rough seas. You would be asking for trouble. Take sometime to do some research on hull displacement. I think you will find that a Pontoon Boat will have no displacement. Under the conditions that night, and the amount of boats on the lake in a given area, anybody would have a hard time. Shore line is to close and waves seem to intense even more. these are just my thoughts. But as things progress, it will get even worse, for I watch from the Ridge Marina that night, which was about the 5th time from there, and was amazed at the number of boats I saw headed down to watch. I own a 36' SeaRay and have been boating for 40 years, and know when it is too much. This is just my two cents worth.
