If you were going to have a boat built new, would you tell them that you ran boats a bit harder than many others and wanted it built a little "beefier" with more bulk heads and things like that or.....
If I was to build a new boat again, yes. Get rid of all the frilly b/s and have plenty of bulk heads. Take a look at some of the Skater V cabins. Purpose built but usable.

cig92 was the one driving the boat. i was watching the gps and his brother was sh!tting his pants. lake ontario gets big rollers not like lake erie water. we were running high 80's in cigrockets top gun during the sea trial after the re-rig being easy on the boat in big 4-5 footers. get big power. big waves. big nuts. and go have fun !
That was a fun day. No hatch on the boat, about 40 degrees. And big water. Great day for a sea trial...lol. Day before and the day after, sun and flat water.....go figure.!
