The owner of that boat will be thankful he hired such an experienced delivery crew.

Grew up boating on the Great Lakes. Conditions can change VERY quickly and are not to be taken lightly. Wave heights increase rapidly with very little distance between waves, making steering difficult and generally uncomfortable conditions. Glad you guys got a taste of it but came out on the other side. Kudos!

Nice to see there’s still people out there driving yachts with commonsense. Well done. Emergency steering plate should be marked and identified with a label on the plate.<br>🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

If you want a never ending stream of problems and broken items then owning a big complex boat is for you.

Any time being out on the Great Lakes in November can be a gamble. The long fetch lets the waves build extremely quickly.

The Great Lakes is an entire different ballgame. More shipwrecks per square natical mile than The Bermuda Triangle. Big ocean cargo ships sank in these waters over the decades.

I docked at Eldean's Shipyard with my Hatteras 50C Sportfishman. My wife and I would go play in 8-10ft'rs off Big Red Lighthouse. Wave spray went above the radar arch at 20ft. Health problems caused me to sell it in 2015. I sure do miss her, the "MIDWESTERN"

Michigan, she can get bitter, but nothing like the rapid upheaval of Winnebago in a storm.😊
