someone was saying if he is going to be in more than 1-2' chop he should get a single cat? but i was told they beat up on you with the center back sponson when it is rough? it would just be even worse. i could be wrong but it sounded like it would make sense. i really like the phantom. i have meet will and he builds some quality product. something you can hold onto for a while

With that being said most of the fast single engine V bottoms are all sit down boats. The velocity and the 30' checkmate would be the exception.
The 32' single velocity that was for sale actually had the drive ripped off and took on considerable water for what it's worth. Not saying it sunk but it was beached to prevent sinking.

Checking out a few of the recommended boats.... Several really cool boats that are on the shortlist are Y2K, checkmate 300, activator, sensation, challenger and velocity. Lots of cool stuff! Yes on some of the other classified sites I went on.....The ads were so old, kind of aggravating so i'll stick to the classifieds here, lol. If the cat insurance wasn't so expensive, It would definitely be an option. Thanks!

You probably know this but Activator and Rage are really the same hull. Both designed by Mark Schnepf, Rage is the new company. Older Activator molds are in Sweden now, 'Mange' on this site has them. Oh, and the avitar is my 32' Activator with a #6 and one blown BBC in it.

Look at the howard as mentioned before. The Eliminator Eagle series are very good and fast boats. I had a 25 that ran and handled very well. The 25 is smaller, I would recommend the 28 or 30. I know OCM has a very nice 30 for 58K with twin 502 Mags Look at powerboatlistings.com
