However, I would guess the Skater is running 110 or so where as the Pantera is running what????? Wonder if the the Skater could run 70 or 80 in the same water the Pantera is running in? |
All this talk about rough water... the same old chit.
It's all subjective. IMO, secret agent is CALM. Superboat, just enough chop to air out the hull, still relatively calm. 32 Skater through Plum Gut... rough. I'd like to see him turn around and run it into the waves (3-4ft to me.) The pantera airing it out is tougher to judge, with it being from a chopper. But w/ the boats attitude, looks like 3s, but more spread out. I'd like to see a 30ft cat running in 3-4s. I think its done, just probably scares the piss outta those that aren't used to running like that. |

Not saying it can't but I'd love to see a video. Tons of videos out there of 28-30 Vs in spread out 3-4s but I can't find any videos of under 30' cats doing it.
Even back when good offshore racing was on TV (2002 if I remember correctly) there were a couple races that had some big water(Cape Cod?) and I never saw a under 30 cat run like the Factory One guys. |

Here's a 32 not doing so good!! Funny, this video is in the same place as mine.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaOEcJWL4-4 but you have to really respect what you do with a "cat" in a following sea, unlike a deep vee!! a 28 Skater just isn't a big enough cat on LIS unless you really pick your days!! |
