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

Question
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.

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>

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
