I really appreciate the replies, thanks.
I understand the 28 Active Thunder with a 525 is the more capable 28' rough water boat, but considerably slower. Is something like the 33 Active Thunder with 496HOs probably the minimum V then?
How about a 28 Skater? Are cats that much more capable in the rough? They the most efficient way to run with the group? Or are they more expensive (incuding insurance) that the 33 AT?

You will see all types of boats at FPC runs, plenty of small cats and 28-33 v bottoms.

I love red boats(used to own one). Saw yours yesterday while browsing, really nice. Tabajay you can't go wrong with this boat. It's a legitimate rough water masher for its size. And the price is right no question. If I had the money it would be mine.

Horses for courses, Jupiter Sunsation. I used to do track days and am now thinking to do poker runs. I'd like to do it for GT3 money ($120k) in the most capable, newbie manageable, new boat possible.
Beautiful boat, fountain40icbm. I'm probably a year away from buying, however (currently living/working overseas).

Here is a great video of the 2005 FPC calender of events: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGk5HGyeAjI
Smallest boat I saw on the highlight reel was a 33 Powerplay.

This is the KW run the following year.
*these years were easily the biggest events in the history of PR's. The slow economy has shrunk these events and the amount of big iron that attends.
