The same thing happened to us on the Fourth of July around 10 AM. I was a little distracted watching a water patrol go by and all of a sudden a huge wave from a similar type of boat that you mentioned swamped our 25' pontoon. The water busted the latch on the front gate and loaded the boat with about 18 inches of water. Everything on the floor (shoes, cooler, etc) was washed to the back. The front fenders on the pontoon were also bashed in. We were out in the big water in between Chuck's slough and the buoys in front of the Stillwaters slough. There was a large V-hull ski boat behind us and I thought that it would flip over. The driver of our boat saw it coming, but it was too quick to warn us or change course. I have never felt concerned on the pontoon boat because it seems to glide over most waves, but I get a little nervous now when I see one of those kinds of boats around. I wish I had gotten the ID numbers...perhaps it was one and the same.
