Bottom line... the Skater spotted the Apache 6 feet, and 50% more power......and still won. There is a part of me that believes a 41 Apache might have done better (better balance and aspect ratio, fewer moving parts and weight)...but still not enough to beat the cat.

P.S. yes this race is on tape.
Um' Sean this is T2X .02 cents

When was that shot and when did the 40 and 46 Skater hit the race course

Grew up close to Alsip launch ran the river through the O'Brien lock and out through hell's kitchen every weekend and week day after work on full moon staying out way past bedtime then the big pond ran 5-6 all the time never said 8 but it keeps growing. Like a fish tale.

I have run 7-8 and don't like it but there is nothing like cresting a nice 5-6 roller and having a blast.
