So then are you saying the Buzzi boats are better than the Apaches?

You gotta get down to the land of palm trees and year-round boating. Snow sucks unless you're just vacationing in it(like Colorado).

BTW what's a Seacraft? Got pics?

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.

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...
