If our buddy Joey gets his together for next year, it'd be contender...42 Fountain with 1300s...

Or...we have Dan Davies as a local boy, if his doesn't sell.

Or...RBH should bring his 42 with 1075s up to play..

I know you gentlemen have bigger boats and twice the power I do coupled to better then bravo drives, but boy do you guys have my respect for this even more so now.

I just went out in 3-4 footers in Ontario to burn some of the fuel left in my boat before I winterized, and boy did I pay. The rollers were enough that the boat would dip completely in the next roller and soak me before I could get on plane.

I was there 36 skater vs 36 top gun same engines. Very rough, we lapped the top gun.

Best apples to apples, Argentina, Alcone 46 skater vs triple engine V bottom, approx 15ft waves, the pace boat was a destroyer. we milled at 40 mph to keep the boats from sinking.

Alcone lapped the tripe engine v bottom at least once maybe more hard to keep up.

Will not even be close, Skater will crush
