They both top out at the same speed!

You're absolutely right.
The dramatic reduction in weight coupled with the multi-step bottom has given today's offshore boats a substantial increase in big-water handling ability. As a result, the long-distance races that once had to be postponed when the water got into the 8'+ range can now be run regardless of water condition. 20 years ago, no one could have dreamed that the Miami to Bimini and back run could have been done in under an hour.....
P.S. Enjoy your giant ski boat.

There was another one in the same race, don't remember the name. The hull spilt down the side just behind the engine compartment bulkhead and it was brand new!
I ran with a potato chip in some rough water this weekend...same old story, couldn't hang when its real water.

I had not seen that before. Thanks for posting. That was some of the best footage I have seen. If it had been any other boat in that trip at the end, including many build to todays standards; they would have been dead.

The Cat Killer would break up long before that old dog. Just like it did in the NC Race this week end.
