hi Bob, these guys are running in the lakes and bays mostly. How many would splash at 1st Performance, grab some ice and 93 octane at the 15th Street fisheries and head over to Bimini for a blast, all on a moments notice? I am not knocking the new boats. Lots are built like brick ****houses. And the AT's are fast, but I've made the passage in 12's and had very few things shake loose, but we were in a 35 mph groove and in an hour and a half we could see the Bahamas. And nothing beats a romp at 70-75mph in 4-5 footers for an hour or less and you're there. I broke my '89 38 Fountain Fever 5 miles out. Cracked it right down the side to the waterline,midships. I went over to Fort Apache the following week and bought INXS, the 41 Apache. Yep, they're old, but they were built for the Atlantic and gulf stream. Boat builders have various business objectives. All 41's and 47's were custom built to a buyers specs. Marks business objective was to give the customer what he wanted..

RLT, I thought we would hear from you on this subject. Since we talked last I have been thinking about your top speed on the 41, the mileage you get, not to mention what that bad boy can go through!! I think that stands up to todays standards by far, pretty good for an antique.

There was a brand new 36 at the FPC Spring Poker run to Key West. Bobby Saccentti was riding with the owner. Boat seemed to handle the rough water great.
I can’t figure these AT guts out, why do they make such a big deal about their boats? Let’s see one win an F2 title then they would have something to talk about.

IF THE AT 37 IS SUCH A GREAT BOAT THAT WILL KICK A 36 CIG IN ANY WATER CONDITIONS, WHY IS'NT ANY ONE RUNNING ONE IN FACTORY 2?---- BECAUSE THE HYPE WOULD BE EXPOSED!
