Re: Cat Killer !
the majority of us involved with these boats have a general idea of what certain boats are capable of. the point trying to be made here is that it doesnt need to be stated, underlined, and bold faced for the WHOLE WORLD TO SEE...heres a point in case where the ole addage SOMETHINGS ARE BETTER OFF LEFT UNSAID applies !!! it doesnt make a difference who made the statement but the fact it was made knowing that the performance boating industry is under the microscope as it is. i'm a fan of all boats, cat, v, hydro, outboard, I/O, turbine etc...as well as all manufacturers.

Re: Cat Killer !
Does the Catalina Race go around the island - or just to Avalon and back ?
It seems there is an extra 20+ miles there somewhere.
The water on the backside of Catalina shortens your boat by about 5 feet, especially if you keep the island to starboard.
As I remember, the 'old' Catalina race would go outside the island.

Wonder what he will say when no one can afford insurance and his boats don't sell...its the nature of the beast,, its not going to change, i have not been to any poker runs where it doesnt turn into a raging ego run,
if it wasnt for the adrenaline rush, that happens in this situation we would all be in 14 to 24 ft bayliners with force 25 to 85 hp outboards..
people will pay big money for the bragging rights got to the 1st stop 1st.
not many folks will spend 750k to 1.5 mil for a skater, omti , nortech or OL to go toodle around at the back of the pack they generally run em hard and it turns into what some would view as a race,
my thoughts,
i know i get fired up but my revlimiter in the left bolster would cut me off forever if i let our boat loose, and its not even fast in comparison, its only a measly 100mph boat.
