Congrats on the new boat. It ran well when Holden had it and I'm sure you will get some big numbers out of it as well.. I believe it about ran 104 with Holden, Kirk and I in the boat....vinnie

I relaxed on my search some what. Just sick of dealing with the banks.... so i decided to just save the cash this winter, Ended up selling the Checkmate so i got cash laying around. Ive got a few ideas of what i might want. Pantera is still at the top of list but did come across Sutphen race boat, and well you know me Mind is always thinking of something.....

So whats the reason you went with this since its a 27 not to much different from the saber? is it that its a faster hull???

I really wanted to go back to a sit down boat. After running the Saber last season I relized (for me) that's where it's at. Can't beat the feeling of a boat that's made to sit in and run. Plus your right being faster is nice too. But the Kryptonite is actually bigger in the cuddy (wider) and also has alot more room in the engine compartment.

So the hull is not a 7ft beam with a 24 deg bottom?

Also the sutphen is a 31ft race boat. Dude, has been showing me a ton of race boats and keeps saying that a cabin is not that great.
