Don't get me wrong, I think your top gun is great but not only have you got no chance in big water against a 41 apache you will never catch these #6 top guns. From an efficiency standpoint and a cost standpoint your 90 mph is the clear winner. Just don't race a straight bottom #6 boat in waves over 5 feet. I don't want you to get hurt.

This is what makes OffshoreOnly such a great community. Parnell's selfless concern for a fellow boater should be an example to all of us. I would type more, but I'm starting to tear up...............................
