Nice video. What a machine. Mil spec right out of the box, or so he made it sound like... Impressive design, and workmanship to say the very least. The Sea Hunter comes to mind as well. Yellowfin is always a tough one to beat, SeaVee, Contender, Fountain.
I want to see what number the 38 Fountain will put down with the new Mercury 400R 's That is a battleship and they are fast..

Yea but I hear they can be really wet. They look pretty slick on the water though, itd be tough to pass one up at a good price

29' SeaVee. It was a rough day to say the least. Easy 10' swell with the tide and wind working against one another. Short day after the wife chummed for snapper. I was shocked at: how much time the Opti's on the bracket stayed underwater. I am no longer worried about mine after seeing the water works there. And Just how dry the ride was for the conditions. Not so shocking was how little freeboard there was and how short the gunnels are in the back of the boat.
I am not delusional, There aren't any boats that could make those conditions good for the passengers. We were wet from head to toe mind you. Wind blown spray mainly. Cabin boat would have made a dry ride, otherwise, we should have stayed on the hill. No place for a V-20 IMPO!
