On your website I noticed a 47 model, have you started one. Is it a stretched version of the 42 or a totally different hull. Thanks Jeff

What is it worth??? The man has been building, rigging and racing boats that have been on the cutting edge for the last 35 years. Who and what exactly are you comparing him to?
Maybe some builder that started in business after Bob had already spent many years with Cigarette. Yes, he was there when the very first Top Gun was made, rigged and then who was picked to throttle the boat....right again it was Bob.
Or maybe some newbie to fast boats after Bob had won multi world championships ......I'm sorry, but when I see comments like this, I really wonder what you use for comparison.

It was a legitimate question, especially with all the turmoil with Apache, Cheif, Active Thunder in the last few years. I was merely asking a question, I was not in any way attacking Mr. Saccenti or his boats or questioning his abilities as a boat builder.
Nuff said

[QUOTE=Semper Fi]Your sorry? You should be for jumping down my throat. When you see a comment like what? I think I'm entitled to ask a question, or make a legitimate comment, don't you? Maybe everyone doesn't have the same thoughts as you...is that ok? What was I using for comparison? Cheif is not exactly putting out alot of boats, then alot of people are asking here on OSO, what happend to Cheif???

Semper......When you usd the singular.."What is it worth?" I took that to mean you were questioning this particular boat and by that, it's builder also. I can understand your concern about all the numerous boat companies going and coming, I only addressed the part about this boat and therefore this builder...What is it worth.
I am glad that we both agree that Bob is one of the best....... and I share your opinion that anyone is entitled to ask a legitimate question or make a comment. I hope this explains my thoughts re this a little better.
I also agree with 'nuff said.
