Wait, I already know what your going to say!!!! 
Fastest in What?? Open water, Flat Water, Rough Water, Race Conditions, etc.
So I guess the question would come back to Factory 1 under regular race conditions with the race courses set up like they are.........
what do you think???

I have my own favorite, but I put 3 boats in the top, with a 4th if it comes out in Factory 1 trim...
1. Extreme- Hands down favorite for both Kilo record and racing conditions.
2. Activator- Only seen one team run well, and they SCREAMED! Of course that particular boat also had a lot of talent and skill in it.
3. Laveycraft.- Again, only seen one team run well on the race course, but that one had a lot of skill and talent in it.
4.Potential new kid on the block... Howard.
If I was racing Factory 1 this year in any of the above boats and someone was coming out with a 28 Howard, I'd be concerned.

Well, nobody has to worry about Howard boats for now. I just talked to Gene and he said he's sold out to July and none of those are racing. He also stated he would never want to race his boats at the speeds the F1 will run this year. He said his advantage is at higher speed so what's the point in competeing! 26.5' variable degee deadrise, no pad.
