What's the best V-Bottom @ 50-60 MPH?
Here's a good one that I don't believe has been covered..... but has the potential to be a good discussion. Some people (most likely more than 90%) don't give a chit who's boat is the fastest with identical power, but enjoy boating and want a quality ride at cruise. I personally know that I spend most of my boating time in my boat @ 50-60 mph (3300-4000 rpms). I also enjoy knowing that I can go out in just about anything that my local water (Chesapeake Bay) can throw at me and not have to worry about it. Full head, amenities, sound system, looks of the boat, paint schemes,etc...
I'm the first to admit that there are many boats that are better than my own.... But I have what I have and I'm keeping it! :) OK, let's hear opinions, no facts please! :drink: |
I'm not seeing the Bayliner option in the poll...can you fix that for us?

:lolhit: Dave I actually voted for the Nor-Tech, but it was close for me between the Formula, Cigarette and Nor-Tech. One of the most enjoyable boating trips that I've ever been on was on a 43 NT V w/700's. Awesome boat!! Formulas have everything that one could want for this style of boating (Let's call it High Performance Cruising), but an older design (which still works IMO) Cigarette.... Well I own an old-azz Cig and it's a tank with a full cabin and enclosed head. Love it! :) |

great thread. The only boat on the poll Ive never run or run in would be AT, so I cant make a judgement. With that being said, looking at operating costs etc I would choose Cig first, then and Apache 41 if money is NO object. I love the 42 Fountain, but lets face it it cant hang with a cig or apache in anything over4's

As you asked, no facts, just personal appeal. |
Good thread for the 20 or so people that have been in them on the list LOL.

I bet if you add "My boat" as a choice it would end up number one in the poll.
