good call, i know what you mean. The idea of running a motor to redline and holding it there without shifting for hours at a time isnt practical no matter HOW you look at it.. haha

They can be very safe if correct procedures are followed. But leave just one of those steps out and it could be disastrious. I would highly reccomend a dunker test and full time air if you plan to run WOT. All canopied race boats have helicopters flying w/ jump divers ready. As a pleasure boat on public waters it could be risky too. It would be easy to hit a PWC , etc.

They are not as good for seeing but everything else about the boat just grabs me...especially the fact it's only 9,000lbs.


The Outerlimits SV43 has a removable top so you can enjoy both worlds check out http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...d.php?t=192040 the boat rides awesome
