Were I boat I have never encountered water conditions were I couldn't run the boat as hard as I wanted to when I wanted to. But as I stated in the beginning I boat mainly on a inland lake in SC.

No problem were just bored it happens all the time this time of the year!! :D

I'm also pretty much 100% positive lavey has raced offshore and won many races so I'm not to sure what your statement means....

UD- don't forget the Factory 1 championships

Actual Lavey did race for several years.

Lavey had a very successful super V lite campaign (world champs actually) and they won a Key West Offshore championship.

They also set the single engine SVL speed record in 06.

It actually out- accelerated Everything including the OL (look it up) . The OL was fastest top end followed by the lavey.

Before you slam them you might have looked it up.

You could prop the OL for acceleration and have it still run 110.....no biggie! If the boats so amazing why hasnt anyone bought one?? Just wondering. I can guarentee you its no comparison to an OL because nothing really is.

30 yrs running super charge powered 100+ water eating machines. My dad raced for Cigarette in the 70s and held just about every speed record,national and world titles.
My son is also following in my foot steps. Running 120 in his Shadow Cat and no he didn't buy it turn key,does all the wrenching and rig it from bow to stern.
I rig my own boats and build the power. See Skater 40 Conversion in the Skater Forums.
Now tell who was ever in that fine as* Lavey to wear some PFDS and kill switches next time they run that hard.

Remember Its a Skater Nation :coolcowboy:

but they didnt and it didnt out accelerate the lavey
same argument -prop the lavey for speed

The numbers post what they post- the 2look pretty close

Who sold anything in the last year really?

Well I dont see the Lavey running more than 110?? The OL will out run that EVO no problem. There's no comparison between a Lavey and Outerlimits or Skater. Im sure they build a very nice solid boat and all but those two MFG's are in a different league. Lots of people have sold boats including Skater and Outerlimits and Cigarette and MTI to name a few.

Not to be a jackhole but Douglas Marine Skater sold 30+

Ok cool but all that does is tell us that you know how cigs and other 100+ mph boats run but have you been in the Lavey and ran it? I doubt it so how can YOU say the Lavey can't run with those other companies....?

About the PFDS and kill switches.... Try looking harder at the video because everybody on board was wearing a PFD and the driver was wearing a kill switch.

Fountain40- just like I said before, a main factor as to why noboby has bought one is because the boat hasn't left the west coast. Why? Because it costs money and Laveycraft is a 100% small family owned and ran company with no investors paying for them and no huge family trusts to spend....

OL40SVX 01-28-2010 10:52 PM

Why hasnt any left coasters bought one? I await to see it if it ever comes out here. Again I think that EVO 28 is pretty cool lookin!
