There is a lot of good stuff on this thread. See my thread “Help with boat choice”
http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...d.php?t=173857
Some are a bit bias here with their comments due the boat they own. It’s ok. I would be and I am also.
However, I am looking for some value to performance, year to, model input, due to the selections and year/models available.
I know how most of these boats ride and handle the seas.
For Ex. What’s a better “deal /value” ? 2001, Hustler 34 for $99M or 2003 Cig. 35 for $130M ??
BTW hold on that the Avanti. They will be making them again in Fla.

Kirk wouldnt build a boat that didnt run well in rough water, or calm for that matter.This would be like me saying a 46 Cigarette would run well in rough water, Ive never ridden in one but,its a Cigarette.

No ballast tank ... We had Mr. Nykamp in the boat thats all 
... No really , Actually .... That was the first time I had that boat in any rough water to speak of and I was really just trying to feel it out .... I was running WAY too much tab there at that part of the run, and running about 5 -10 mph too slow as well ... and if you notice at the beginning of the video I've got the boat leaning way too the port , again my bad , had my hands full with it getting it all sorted out , and as fate would have it , right when the camera was rolling ... Too bad we didn't see the chopper on the return leg heading back to GH , as I redeemed myself on that leg ! 
Gotta say , that may have been the most intense run I've ever had in a poker run on the return leg ... was us , Parnell in his 41 , just killin it I might add ... Mike Vorce in WickedWon ... and Mark Peters in my old triple engine 41 aka "The Destroyer" .... that thing just eats rough water .... made me look like a hero many many times on Lake Erie ...anyway ... Those 4 boats were going at it back and forth , neck and neck , changing leads .... We'd go way up and sky one ... then we'd stay down in a trough ... and one or two of the others would go way up , and all you'd see was the bottoms and a big roar and a splash ..... Man !!!! 
Yeah .... maybe I better not sell this one !??!?!?
