Its the simple physics of a better bottom that makes the Glad ride better.

8 footers
 
Fellow Cafe Owner,

Been in 8 footers in the middle of the night with one engine running -it Felt like I was sailing, but my Cafe is incredible in those conditions. Not worried about it for one second. It felt like a Tartan 10 Sail boat. 3000 extra lbs and a higher cockpit. I'll tell you right now, if you buy a tiger, there is always a faster boat in Lake Erie. Consider the cabin size too and the depreciation. The only upside is gas mileage. Keep your Cafe so I can beat the pants off it this summer after Gellner finishes my 572 EFI's -

What ever came of the Shortie Project? - TRS X dem is 1 inch higher stock you Bravos I hear.
