There's a few race boats out the with 7' beam and kickin butt in F1( 29 & 30's). What about pleasure use.

tab usage.

For pleasure I'd like 8ft.
Actually, my wife says a couple more inches would do it....

traditionaly the 7 foot beam boats are better in rough water.

Martin- is your boat more or less sensative to tab input? just curious because i have never thought about it until you mentioned tab usage as and i know your excal is a 7 footer. hows it running by the way? we have been hitting the bay on thursdays for dinner and drinks (no water ) have you guys been mostly hanging at Kellys?

What about around the dock ect..

Stormrider, try a strap-on!!!

I would think the 7 beam would be less stable the reason for the tabs usage.

Sorry, but the wife won't let me borrow it.

I new someone would say they suck. I just can't imagine one foot making so much difference. But, almost all V's are 8'. Why not 9' ??

the 27 activator has a 7 foot beem and does good in f1.if you think about it it would probably need more tab down than a 8ft to keep from rocking but would slice through waves better like a knife.is super boat 7 ft beam also?.my kryptonite is a 8 foot beam i like the hull alot but if there is 1 thing I would change about it would be to go from 22 degrees to 24 and leave the 8 foot beam.

Phantom, Superboat, Activator, Magnum,older Cigarette's to name a few, I know there's others.
24 deg, 7' beam
