UT, I'm sure you'd win the toy war- though I'm no slouch. The difference is SAM met you at the lake where you brought one toy. He came to my house where all the toys were in view (Ok- we won't talk about the drawer in the nightstand)
Besides, you've seen my Jeep and 40' camper/hauler, my Cummins/Dodge. Throw in Tina's convertible, the family car, Nena's RX-7 (Formerly Tina's), Branden's quad, the 18' carhauler trailer, the 10 mph commercial mower and the tige inboard and i'm fresh out of Toys- not even a PWC to compete with your fleet!
By the way- the cabin gets the most use when there are just two of us on board.
Sounds like I should ad pilgrimage to Skaterfest on my "todo" list! I'm glad you had a great time.
With regards to cat's in the ocean- try it in your 26, you may be surprised how well it does. 22-26' fishing cats are becoming extremely popular because of their prowess per foot. The nice thing about ocean running is the spread between the swells- I used to sail an 18' nacra racing cat in the gulf all the time, launched it off the swells too. LOTO on the other hand is a challenge, Bayliner swallowing Troughs with 4-6' top to bottom and short spread. I was taking them at 25-35 with a lot of stick work, occasionally poking right through the next wave, a rush but not for the timid. Really shows how solid the hull is.
