I have seen him jump (we were running along in our Tiger) in Florida off of South Beach the wave of a 70' Sport fisherman, he was without a doubt at least 20' feet in the air running about 75 mph. I would not of tried that with anything built lightweight for speed on 2" chop these days, my guess is a lot of them would of folded in half.

Just my humble opinion.

I would put the strength of a well built carbon fiber and epoxy boat against any resin bucket any day.

strength yes, I agree......ride no..I will take a resin infused, bagged, carbon in certain areas with a good layup.. I prefer the softer landing using the extra weight. Good example.. my 43NT was 13800, and I liked the way that boat ran in the rough stuff.. now, I have not been on the 44 OL, will someday, and then possibly will change my opinion.
