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.:D

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.:rolleyes:

Yup...late 2007 forward...but the older ones run well too......ask SICKNORDIC on here......his 525 35 Flame snot whipped a lot of big name boats from the East Coast with same power and size in the ocean.....it ran over 93 GPS.

NOPE not anymore .... have you seen the Nordics new stuff yet.....the cats and the big offshore boats.......look into it....hard core stuff being produced.

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

70's colors...you must be talking about the boats that were buit in the 70's:rolleyes:

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.

There are some awesome west coast wave crushers that can handle most anything...

Eliminators 43' Eagle is a awesome boat. I believe it has a scarab bottom.

Advantage 40' Poker Run

Nordic 35' Flame and 42' Inferno

Schiada - one word comes to mid, Quality. I believe that the 32' wins alot of offshore ski races.

I know there are more...

One more to add...Advantage 34' Offshore

Not trying to be a dic but my old 22' Advantage had as much freeboard as your superboat.:(
