yep been there in a 30 spectra with tripp 2.5s doing 90 in a pokerrun with 3 to 5s. boat flew even once in a while a outside prop would land 1st and push the boat around. but it never hit hard like some 32 hustlers I have been in or other 28 to 32 footers. cats land soft even 24 skaters we jump a wake from a big sf one afternoon well a few, I was oh **** we hit flew over and came down with ease.

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.
of my Y2K !!!!

The Secret Agent video and the Pantera video show totally different water conditions. We're talking "calm" in the Secret Agent and "moderate" in the Pantera video- "rough" is something you would't want to go out in.
