Apache is still the best in rough seas, at least in my book.

The bottom line answer to that question is, "who knows". Because (as far as I have seen), there hasn't been a video put out of a newer boat (post 2000 lets say), where the owner went out during a hurricane swell (that's the back story on those swells) and intendore racing ed to beat the boat like it owed money! Sure, there's footage of OL and Cig and others getting busy in some slop or some race footage of boats airing it out in some big water, but who really says anymore, "It's Saturday, there's a huge swell coming in, lets go out and go punish the boat!"? Answer? no one.

I ran my cig hard and loved it. Sh!t, there's video of us flyin that thing 8' up multiple times. I've run it in true 10'+ seas and have the pics to prove it.

But I think you're missing my point...show me video of someone out running their (newer/non race boat) in water like that and punishing their boat that hard....you can't.
