Had a 21 Sea Ray that we beat the crap out of, water skied, tubed, partied like crazy and didn't worry about it. The PowerPlay was the most awesome boat I had but I spent more time fussing over it than playing in it, got to be too much of a pain in the a$$.

I have not been here as often as I like....Good thread Cat.
Our 43 Nortech was a blast, one heck of a boat....but Ive been building catamarans in a CC configuration. I enjoy fishing, but need to get the speed up in the 70-90mph range for poker runs. The 22 is one solid platform...and she is quick, over 60mph. We are now building a 27 with a CF hardtop first in the industry, full electronics and with a new bottom that we are all accustomed to in achieving speed..LOL...once finished a 31-32 as well as 34-37 wider beamed platform with trip and quad outboards will hopefully be in the Miami show next year. All serious machines..CF, Kevlar, S glass, some pre-peg construction, all resin infused, then vac. bagged, then off to the oven....each piece is then weighed, and then documented and spec sheet is sent to the customer.

First boat, Chris Craft 208 w/5L OMC
Second, 24 Superboat w/BBC
Third and current 30 Superboat w/525.
I had a lot of fun in all these boats. My life has changed a lot in the 18 yrs. I've owned a boat. I can't say which was my favorite.
