Cruising LIMITATIONs - I hate typos in the title.
I have a buddy that mentioned a few years ago that he has to be careful when cruising his '05 420DA with a hydraulic swim platform loaded with a big jet ski. His concern was that if he was going 25 knots and hit a big wave just right, it could rip the swim platform off of the back. So, he really takes it easy in rough seas - 15 knots or so.
Is this a normal concern for most boats with these lifts? How about specifically for a 44DB with the extra platform?
