Kidding ?

Last time out, yesterday actually. 7 people, 50.6 MPH No way to get the nose up with 4 people sitting in the bow. With all these people she was a pig. Don't everybody go to the same side at once now. LOL. On the bright side, with all this weight the V does its thing above average, crossing wakes and such. Cruising was 37 MPH at 4200. Fished four over the weekend, or salt water catfest as I like to call it. Rainy weather has the Suwanee flooded. Scalloping wasn't gonna happen, water was stained and murky. Swimming was a success and we ate a lot.. good stuff.. Limearita what?

Heard of one V that hit 75 mph going over the Niagra Falls......that's serious top speed.

Spare do you have that vid of your buddy's SeaVee?

Ridge, what kind of go fast hull are you thinking? I cruise craigslist all the time even waaaaay outside my local area, and love finding cheap and interesting deals. I could be on the lookout for you. I have a knack for finding stuff.

I think I do, but I'm having issues with my email, I'll check again later

Bradford, I don't have a preset disposition to any one length brand or even hull type. I am looking right now, trying to get the house paid and a youngster raised. I like fast but have seen how easy fast can turn sour, accidents happen in a split second. Maybe a Trawler. You got a Mckee or Whaler I can pick-up cheap for a tender?

I love trawlers...especially the ones with a sail in the middle. Give me enough money, one of those boats and I'm off around the world. It's not on my bucket list, since I can't even think of affording it... but it's certainly on my "if I had a dream" list. Maybe if I hit the lottery... <sigh>

Food for thought . . .

i worked on a 58 Offshore the other day, I can say, it was pretty nice. The fast trawlers (Offshore, Fleming, Defever) are my kind of ride

Thanks Pipe... I'm going to order that book. Not that I have any illusions about me doing it, but it looks like a good read.
