Most people dont realize how big that is and that you`re not racing anything in that at anywhere near WOT
I think he must be talking about Facebook 4-5s which on social media any guy in a 25' boat can do 70mph in ....easily . |

4 to 5's.... They would be extremely close.. Tied off to the dock while the owners are drinking frosty cold adult beverages.

The size of waves was purely hypothetical just wanted to make sure both boats would be struggling, and I'm sure I never mentioned anything about racing or running WOT I think Saris racing got it in one and anserd my Q Thanks I was on a FB wave once for a week It was that big |
The Smith brothers in OPA racing have been thrashing on there Joker hull for years. One tough hull in my opinion and I have seen them run hard in 4-5 seas. I also remember racing against some 28 Panteras in 4-5 footers in F-1. In that kind of water the rigging or mechanical parts are your worst enemy. Most of these race boats were laid up better than the recreational hull IMO.

Joker Powerboats if I recall correctly only made 5 total boats for the 28 stepped bottom boat. The owner Brian H. of Joker kept one and was NON rigged - the one I seen in person in GA. It did have PPI interior with sit down race seats in it and a full cabin interior. I believe he still has it and most likely his 41 EPIC CC boat based off the 38 twin step powerplay hull. If I recall correctly only 2 maybe -- 3 max of the 26 Joker Non Stepped boats were made. want to say the 28 Joker life started out as CC boat If I recall correctly named Strike ? |

The 28 was made first, Mitagator was one of the boats.and Crazy Chicken -- Dee Early or something like that name did well with the 28 Joker but later years Dee Early moved over to different brand.boat but still was called crazy chicken. .
