SreaminDemon,
Powerplay does build a great rock-solid boat. If you think that there are ANY boats out there that are impervious to breaking apart in rough water (Oceans or lakes) you are wrong. There is NO boat made on earth that is bulletproof from mother nature. Look at the fit and finish on a Powerplay and you can see how well they are made, or go to the factory and "Bosco" will give you the grand tour and see how well they are made.

Semper Fi - not sure i agree with that statement; if the manufacturer constructs the boat correctly, it should last forever no matter what waters it is run in. I have seen many old Cigarette, Signature, Magnum race boats that were used in the "Real" racing days of rough water that are structurally sound and will be around for many years to come.

Options...WRONG!!! I have been in many boats over the years and getting a v-hull to submarine (go completely underwater) seems impossible...maybe take some heavy water over the deck at most, but hit bottom? A cat, yeah...a deep v, i REALLY, REALLY doubt it!

Correct me if I am wrong ... but ... At a S.C.O.P.E. meeting a few years back, Bob Teague was the guest speaker ... I believe he told us of stuffing a V, himself, and hitting bottom.

Go to Freeze Frame's video section and click on the first video. I don't know what kind of boat it is, but if that isn't breaking apart, I don't know what is.
Nothing but water involved.
