only problem was LEOPAJM (Jerry M) was one of the boats we couldnt catch. we did in fact pass Dan but i think he was going easy on his passangers. it was very rough. also remember seeing him raise his throttle hand and shake off a cramp as we went by . he had two sticks to my one and it was a busy throttle day. we took the beating and had a great time. there were 3 boats ahead of us coming up the river JM and his saber MadCow and his 42sonic and some other boat i cant remember right now. (once again Chris sorry bout the boat, i know a good glassman )
we need to do a run in the 28 Batboat
i love these "my boat is faster/better than yer boat" threads. . . . i like em all

oh . . . just for the record. my favorite rough water 28 is a toss up between the 28Bat or a Magnum Sport. to each his own, eh
ss930- what part of the country are you in. Chris is great about giving rides in the boats. the 28 has a ride you just hafta experiance. it dosent "feel" like any other kinda boat.

I'm in CT. I've never seen one around here. I'm a cat guy, but I'm casually starting to think about getting a smaller vee (28'-32')... insurance is a killer on the cat. I'm intrigued by the BB since it appears to be a hybrid of the vee/cat. My major concerns with my next vee is big water handling, then speed, then cost. I don't think I'm going new (unless the deal is RIGHT) for resale reasons. I'm considering a 30' Y2K Superboat because I like the 7' beam (better in the rough and faster than 8'/8'6"). I've never seen a used BB before, but I am open to the idea if I find a nice one for the right money. Either way I don't want my next boat to be any slower than 85 mph... having a cat spoils you.

Hard to find for $50k or less, though....
Anyone here is welcome for a demo ride if you're ever in the Northeast. You tell me.
Miller, Shane, DaveP, Craig223, Shanghaied Again, George Linder and others have been for a ride - ask them.

By the way, how much does a 28' saber cost? or a 41' cost?
Please do not be made I do not want to hurt your Feelings.......

Not trying to start chit, I've never been in a Bat boat... but I am very curious about them.

Not to hurt anyones feelings or start an argument but why does it seem people think bat boats are immune from the problem all other 24 and 28' offshore boats suffer from in big water? Lack of length and weight. Remember boys, size matters. NK
