(I've seen some without them. :eek: ) 8. Hydraulic steering. 9. GPS plotter. 10. Chicks. :drink: adding 6,7 and 9.... will never have 2 on this boat... who cares, you sit down anyway :D |

Hydro's definition of an offshore....must have as many of the following as possible:
-Can handle BOTH speed and rough seas -Deep V....24 degree,,,,knifes those waves -Steps....designed for speed and predictable handling -Cockpit.......it's what you look at 2/3's of the time...has to be topdrawer. -Cabin....comfortable and functional without things installed that break after a good run... -Engine compartment......clean and mean -Rear end...nice exhaust tips...I like an aluminum platform or none at all....this is your call...Cigarette has it right in my books in this department. -Right paint job ties it together -Built soild and as lightweight as possible...(Kevlar rules) -Speed? Has to have a good top end and the ability to go "fast" in rough water...top end ought be in the 80+ mph range these dayes I feel on a new boat. -Length......true offshore.....a true solid 38'er -Priced right...I am leaving it at that. -Drives..."well matched to power" I don't feel you have to have a #6 unless you NEED to have a #6. Did I miss anything? :D |
Re: What do you consider an offshore boat ??
i always considered WickedWon to be one of the defining offshore powerboat. built with speed handeling and safety in mind. has a half cabin to get out of the sun and is arguably one of the best rigged boats out there. if you have ever seen this thing go by at 100+ you know what i mean. great boat for sure :cool: :cool:

Re: What do you consider an offshore boat ??
To me, an offshore boat must be able to run reasonably comfortable in 2 to 3 foot seas at at least 60 mph. It goes up from there.

Nothing in a cabin survives after a good offshore run in the right stuff :evilb: Maybe a half cabin with just cusions :D
