First of ... Happy new year America ... and to play devils advocate, and I may be wrong here but as I seem to remember it back in the 90's Fabio Buzzi in his big bad 4 engined mono kicked all the big bad cats out of play in Key West, or at least that's how I seem to recall it from watching the race, same again with his single engined Buzzi mono RIB, and again I may be wrong but it was said that both boats were banned to prevent him from competing as there appeared no way of ever beating them
On that assumption I would reckon if FB built a brand new boat with 4 big diesel engines it would be mostly unbeatable in long distance offshore as per the 80's racing
PS ... I think we have a winner of the Rough offshore supremo racing

I raced in races in 98 and 99 against the 4 engine diesel boat. It was cool and smoked a lot but it couldnt keep up with the 46 Skaters. We even went to Argentina and race it as well. It was a big water race that day. We took first place that day and Alcone in their 46 Skater took 2nd.
I guess that anwsers that..Thank You. Jeff

the best riding boat I have been in sofar is a 41 apache six pack. Its a great riding boat compared to the cig's , fountains, sutphens, etc... they are heavy and take alot of power to run fast, but I'm sure the weight is a big reason they ride well...But I cant see ANYTHING running with a big cat,. preferably a skater 40 ft plus.. The pics of Jim's boat eating up big water should say enough...
