Even with all the disageements, the only 2 names I have heard consistantly are Laveycraft and Warlock. Just found out that they have both raced offshore as well. Thanks guys for the input. Anyone else?

Keep in mind, correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't all the west coast boats we are discussing include a swim platform in thier length. If that's the case then my Superboat is 31'7" still running a single at as fast or faster speeds than the actual 26-28' west coast boats.

The Race boats I've seen in Calif all have additions to the structure to withstand the offshore punishment. Not sure if they would hold up or not without it.
I will tell you I have never been in a more solid boat than mine. However, if you want to pay for bling, and 70's colors, stick with a west coaster, I've had a few before I went east.

There are some west coast boats that include the swim platform but not all. There are some east coast boats that do as well...

And it's also 7 ft wide with little to no freeboard. It's a great boat, but it is also "smaller" than those 26-28' West Coast boats. Also, Lavey and probably some of the others do not include the swim step in their lengths.
