Bounty Hunter (the 25 Corsa one) was competitive in class 4 with a open pit, so was Grampa's Toy ; 26 American Offshore.

Your 26 can be competitive with a little more H.P., But just not in the BIG WATER, But neither were the two above I mentioned, chit it big water Augie condo laps class #3 cats.

I personally would like to see you in #4 (more for me to race), But honestly this could go both ways and be fair.

But if your allowed in 4 what about Randy, or Bruce? will they be allowed down also?

Additional horsepower is not going to be an option for us.

This is not about Bruce, Randy (he already has a class 5 boat), or other SVL's. Let's keep this about our Activator. I'm not going to speak on their behalf.

Rick,,,randy and bruce,, both 29 foot boats (REAL SVL) running 90 + MPH in 4-5 foot seas !!!! I rely think u canot compare them to the Activator,,,,i seen that boat run and i worked on it ,,,i tell u ( NO AFENSE ) its NOT a SVL,,,,,its a wanna be SVL !!! SORRY .

Like I said; I would like to see you in 4, but I understand if they allow you to move into # 5.

But In the future if a team buys a SVL and try’s racing it in #5 you can be sure your name and team will come up to help there argument, that’s all I'm saying.

What one second.. If we don’t have a “written” rule against canopied boats in #5 why are we having this conversation?

once again...you are wrong. Its not a wanna be SVL. The boat ran well as the original SVL when it was High Noon.

The Phantoms and Extremes just have more boat in the water and are more stable.

It can however, be competitive in semi rough water. I know, I ran it. it runs better in the rough. It is extremely squirlly in calm water over 87 mph. It chine walks like a sum bi*ch, causing it to bow steer and subsequent barrel roll.

Will it ever win in SVL ? probably not, unless everyone else breaks,can and does happen. That how Lavey craft won in PR and OB.

Will it ever winn in class 4? Probably not, unless Augie, Simmons, Awesome , INMOCEAN and Octane break or breakout. Which can happen as well.

For the record, If I race, I will race class 4. I have proven we can win in the ocean against the bigger boats (PP 2007) Simmons was right on our azz the entire race. It was a blast trying to hold them off.

Oh ,,,,,,$HIT ,,u did it,,,u upset me ,,,,shame on u ,,,,,,so u think the activator can win against me ??????????? in class 4 .

Tell u what bruce u jump in it and show everybody how it runs in class 4 ?! How's about that ?! LOL

That would be easy for 2 reasons

1- you dont finish races
2- we can kick your azz in 4...hand down

1- i "DID" not finish races !!!!
2- Can't wait untill u show me ,,,hand down
