I want in!!!!!!!!! Official start boat!!!!!!!! Then I'm going to the bar

I like the way you think!

Funny...yesterday on the way back from Key West, we were passed by a 40 Skater in 3-4 footers. Granted, BOTH of us were running conservatively, 45-50 mph for us, and they were both PURELY pleasure boats (well, my boat has a cabin, anyway...the Skater is a BIT more purposed built! Lol). About 5 miles later, things got BAD. As in 6-8 foot bad...wind blown chop on top of tidal swells. Pat from Active Thunder was driving my boat, and we watched that Skater come right back to us, getting beat to hell while we drove right by. Now, I am not NEARLY stupid enough to think that my boat with 525s could come even CLOSE to a Skater in virtually any condition...but something to consider in this little Onion run (for the betting crowd) is the comfort of the crew. I'd MUCH rather be standing (like my crew was yesterday) than sitting down and getting pounded. Ostensibly...neither of you guys are "racers," so this could hash out differently than I had initially considered (I was in the Skater camp...now I've got second thoughts).

Also...I've got the whole passing thing on GoPro...will edit and post! Don't know whose Skater it was...all silver...but it was a GORGEOUS boat...

OK REGGIE EDIT THE TAPE HOW YOU SEE FIT :lolhit::cartman::daz::poopoo:
LOL!!!

He wasn't in his Reggie boat, he was in his new 37AT excess. Sounds like good times !

Rut Row!.... This should ruffle some feathers! Cant wait to see the video. Weeeeee!

Is this the key? In bigger water the vees can still be resonably comfortable cruising at 85-90. Where as the cats need to be packing some air, 100-110? Otherwise that big flat bottom is gettin slapped pretty hard. Can they keep the drives in the water long enough and are the cahounies large enough to keep it there?
My buddy has a 36 skater with 750s, I know a little different storey, but I have went by him in 1-3+ at over a buck.

Bobby B wants to throttle and I told him puck it we gots rev limiters bungee the sticks to the dash!
Plus the phone books will be flying around:angry-smiley-038:
cahounies / Onions - they will be strapped in :helmet:
Time to dust the old girl off and get started :evilb:
First time it seen the outside world since 2008.
This has finally motivated me cause it ain't rough e nough at Loto:daz:

I am throttling not wanting old man. :angry-smiley-038:

Ive raced V's and Cats.

Trust me on this if you can afford it you want to sit down and strap in. The big cats are a ton better ride, than the V's.

And yes I raced a 40ft V and 40 Ft skater.
