Bobby not for anything but you know very well that my old man and me are always out there when it's ruff and you know that. just like when i went out with Randy ( wild) in his topgun when it was pouring rain and ruff as chit and you called me and said " we are going by the inside it's to ruff" right or wrong. so don;t say that people don;t go out there when it's ruff, cause that when we mostly go out

Yes, we did tell you it was too rough that day. However, we had my mother on board who has a herniated disc in her back, my brother, and Bill's son who I don't think has been in a speed boat more than a hand full of times. Sometimes, you need to use your brain instead of your ego.
Now, if you want to go play one day let's go

The original question was a bit vague.
They both have good and bad points ..
Fountains are nothin to sneeze at iether but what happened to the dash ..aaaammm is that enough room for the stereo remote? Could they possibly get the gauges a little more centered behind the wheel , I think I can see the numbers on a couple of them

41 Apache will run 6' + seas. And don't discount a non step Top Gun. I only ask about the twin step Cigarette's because I watched one struggleing in 4' seas, maybe he had mechanical trouble...I don't know.

Mechanical or driver or some other issue.

The adrenaline gets pumpin' !
It's always better to go out in it then let it get slammed against the dock... No fun in that....

Parn only goes out then it's rough like 4+, I know I have been with him or along side of him when it is rough, he prefers 6+. If it's flat he takes his Skater out, he's the only guy that I know that is not happy if it's calm out. Steve

This is what makes OffshoreOnly such a great community. Parnell's selfless concern for a fellow boater should be an example to all of us. I would type more, but I'm starting to tear up...............................

Also when I referred to the sixes I was not referring to 6's holding up better, that is a given. I was pointing out how much difference they make in big water. More stable and they stay hooked up so much better that any boat with them is going to run faster in rough water if the boat is the same. My top gun had bravos when I ordered it cause I couldn't afford sixes and now it has sixes and they are so much better that it's not even close to the same boat. The drives muscle the boat not the other way around. This is Nykamp and I in 4-6's last fall running 75 on Lake Michigan. No one was around to take a pic except the beach cam. Fun thread.
