Time for real Chicago Pizza and for sure Portillos the Patio for ribs I feel fatter already. Where are the beer batter onion rings
Already had Vienna beef dogs
This is something we do miss about Chi-Town
A tour of "real Chicago pizza" could take a while; many, many categories and many more judges! Enjoy!!!

Great video. I wonder if a 41 Apache with big power could get up on top of that water and make a real run of it. What would you consider that water, 6-8'?

I'd think even repeated running like this every weekend with 1300's, the 6's would be needing frequent freshen ups.

It doesnt seem like Fountains are invited on this big offshore challenge slash onion run! I may have to watch these big boys run from inside the break wall where Fountains belong

One of the big advantages to the Skater is being 20-40mph faster, it can afford to run soooo much more locked in in the big water, and still be faster than the Apache running as loose as it can be

Are you into the beer batter also
Post133 said
Only a Skater or Apache or copy or reproduction or any variance of the above that resembles a boat will be allowed to paricipate in the said Onion Run.
Kinda left it wide open
You are cut off of the batter

ARB38 Sorry I missed you at the shop I know that Fountian will run

I have always wondered how cats and V's will compare. Wish there were head to head testing in magazines but whoever loses would stop placing ads in that magazine, that would happen every time a new issue comes out till the mag goes under.

But seems to me that a CAT would win in the rough, especially if it has a faster top speed, up to a certain wave height, then the V would win, since it can still transverse the waves even if it has to slow down, where the cat will stuff if it has to slow down, lose the air packed in the tunnel, waves start slapping the bottom of the hull, etc etc.

Hopefully its rough and we can find out! I will be there thats for sure!
