You questioned mine first so.... We'll leave it at that. Seems like you have a long history of nautical background. What about our type of boats though?? Hey when I was three I was riding in a Formula!:D

You mean its not being 2-3mph faster w/ the same power that sells boats?

I think AT should cut down the 37, sit down, no cabin, 2man race boat. My $ says it would waste a gladiator.

For some yes. If they build it I'll run our Glad if we still have it by then. My personal opinion though while it could be faster than the Gladiator it wouldn't pass the Donzi ZRC or OL GTX and the boat wouldn't nearly look as good unless AT got rid of the raised, inverted middle deck since they wouldn't need the head room anymore. It would be cool though to have more sit down vees out there.

whats a 525zrc and a 525gtx boat run?
And those that buy for those few mph are gay... just like those who buys a car cuz a magazine states 1car is faster to 60 by .2sec than another.

When boats are running within a few mph of each other... its all up to the driver.
And friggin powerboat mag tests in a lake, or flatter inland water... what a joke. That is NOT what this sport is all about.

We'll build a sit down stripped cabin poker run smoker 37AT.
Find an owner. I'll even take care of you on it.
Talk talk talk; lets see some walking.

Brian, you may wanna talk to Masher... he's looking for something like that.
Wish i could help you out... that'd be a cool project.

I just wanted to know if AT's were staggered but looks like it is a real heated discussion :hitfan: :D

There you go Pat..the kid has thrown the gauntlet down!!
Miami showboat ..sitdown (or maybe not)/no cabin/3man/6man bolster /7500# carbon fiber hull.
No nav lites or anchor lites (you don't want to run that fast at night anyway)(if are running and eluding at night still don't need'em) no cleats. In fact make the seat cushions from nylon or canvas stap mesh military style for the weight. And train only ex jockeys for drivers..every little bit helps.:rolleyes::p:p
I do believe a true gutted 6 place race type boat from carbon fiber with the present deck would kick the competition azz with NO STAGGER:D:D

Totally agree. I can tell you for a fact that Poker Runs America does not do that. The ZRC with 525's runs 99-100 and with 700's 115. The OL with 525's runs 100.

For real, Ill talk to my buddy. He was interested in the 700 boat and doesnt need a cabin and like the sit downs. He actually wants a fast cat but with insurance and everything, he thought a 700 vee would work. I'll talk to him this weekend and see if he's intersted.
