This could be interesting, however, similar discussions on similar topics always tend to have "opinions" posted and not actual true facts or knowledge. People will post what they like, what they heard or promote the boat they have and subsidize their decision, or they wish list. For ALL the readers, I would just recommend to take note and believe posts that the poster has no "personal" incentive posting it. There is no "perfect" or best boat, every boat is a COMPRIMISE of a sort. Be it speed or luxury, custom or mass production VS $'s. or whatever. Pretty much everyone's "best 'V' boat will be different, for different reasons.

Thats what I was thinking, everything is a trade off. Just guessing, is the outerlimits much more expensive than a fountain or a ciggerette?
How could anyone really know what the best hull is unless they have had experience with each boat?
Myself, I would want a fast efficient hull but it should handle a rogue wave or two, speed is not everything right?
Price, durability, and ride should be considered as well I would think.

since the title says being built TODAY..so basically you have Active Thunder, Chief, Cig, Nor-tech, Outerlimits. OL and NT are probably the most expensive, Fit and finish is probably a toss up, Speed for power is OL. All around boat for the money is Active Thunder. Bling factor is OL and NT. Rough water capability is likely the largest grey area since everyones opinion of "rough" is different.

Does Fountain currently hold fastest v-bottom record at 177mph? That was done with twin 1500 hp staggered configuration. Is there an Outerlimits boat out there with that type of horse power and if so what speed has it hit? Only way to tell which hull design is better is to test with same HP. I know we are only looking at one variable speed not handling etc. but we do need to compare apples to apples if we try to compare hull design from one boat to another.
