I hear you, I love my boat. We are center Consoles, I think 90% on here are Cuddys. One of each.

can't tell you how many times I've shouted "I Love My Boat!" at the top of my lungs after cranking it to WOT and clearing the inlet at first light....

I was going to put some cup or pitch in my prop....I'm turning 6300 WOT. But I get such great throttle response from 5500-6300. My engine builder says "Turn her!!"

Not sure if I told yall or not but while I was in the Keys I put the "Guale Girl" through the biggest seas she's seen yet....... 5-7'ers at about 4secs apart.......It was white knuckle and short lived but I had to prove to myself the boat could do it, and it did. The steep waves only lasted for about 100yrds, part of the reason I did it, but I cant tell you the confidence it gave me afterwards knowin that the V can and will kick azz when it needs to. On another note, I always wanted to write a short story about what age guys trade in their CC for a cuddy and a dry ride

I was younger when I abandoned the cuddy, not older. LOL.. The Cuddy still wet me and beat me up a plenty.
