Actually in my specific expereince recently I am sure if I had been at the
wheel we would have stayed a little drier, but that wasn't why I posted
this. I was hoping some would be able to post some clear guidelens for
handling waves and chop.

Things like trying to cut wakes at 90 deg in a V-Hull or rolling parrallel
over wakes in a flat bottom boat.

A good angle to cut waves, or when it is better to run directly away from
the wind.

Working the throttle to optimize going over vs. plowing through waves.

I'm not making any specific claims about the best way to handle any of
these
situations. I'm just saying when people claim that its all about boat
handling then there should be atleast some obvious things a person can do
to
improve the situation.

And as my original inquiry about "dry ride" implies there are certainly
differences in what different boats can handle and the best way to
approach
some situations.

Ok, as somebody pointed out, my boat handling skills may need a brush up
if
I'm getting wet on the water in my bass boat.

I know what I have learned the hard way and what I have been taught, but
I'm
always open to consider a different perspective.

What should any boater know to handle chop?

Waves?

At what point or intensity does your approach or technique change.
