I personaly have never run in them when I was in control if it is that bad. When you are co-angler during the tourney you really have no choice except to stay at the dock, and you assume the guy can handle them. The second day of the Everstart I did get into it with my boater cause he was a idiot when come to running his boat. He did not know how to keep the boat from riding with the bow straight up in the air, I really don't think he knew what the trim switch was for.
