Well then .... I guess I "need not reply" then . There is one hitch in your statement however ... Part of the equation to running a smaller (28 or ???) boat in rough water is Having BALLS enough to let her rip !!! The boat don't drive itself . You better not have some candy azz runnin that Batboat up against any "28' boat, cat or V"
Right dude ?

If there is anyone out there that thinks they have some bad ass rough water 28', here's your chance to make a quick 10K.
I guess in the end you really know what's real and what isn't based on who's willing to put there money where there mouth is.
I remember when I thought my 29' Fountain was the ****...I talked trash all the time...I was always willing to back it up...won some and lost some. But with the bat, there's simply no losing in rough water unless you sustain a mechanical failure.

MrOffshore - I knew I could count on you for the bold statements.

The 26 Sutphen really hasn't been mentioned but they seem to do just fine in comparison to other 26-30' boats when the water gets a little nasty.

Based on the Avon boat, I'd say that's probably in the right ballpark. Maybe 1-3 mph on the optimistic side.
