40 SS is a bigger wider boat. Kind of like a short 46. Better call Peter for better details. I like the 40SS.

From the pics it looks wider and also looks like it has more steps. Maybe designed for rough water? Nice powerboat for some of that new Mercury Racing 1350/M8 equiptment!

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

Fabio doesn't spend all that money to come over here and lose, but my question is can he beat the Mystics in big water?

If they raced they way they used too, 150-175 miles Fabio would beat any Mystic or Skater for the simple reason, they couldn't run the engines hard enough, long enough without breaking to stay ahead for that many miles in big water.

They would all without doubt be faster boats than his is any water they could both go out in!

ps Fabio does spend his money to do anything:drink:

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?
