Ya I agree, it would be nice to see this thread see some action. I myself am a "little feller" when it comes to offshore boats. :boxed:

Is that your boat in your avatar? If so, what is it? Got a bigger pic of it?
I have a weakness for red boats...

The yellow one with the bimini is mine. I love it, its solid, takes on the big stuff and asks for more. 75 mph with twin HP 500 efi's, full cabin, micro ,tv/vcr ,stereo/cd player , refrigerator ,2 sinks ,flush potty, tons of head room. The guys from Outdrive Exchange crawled into every orofice of my boat putting a new stereo in and he said he liked it. A true offshore V built in Florida to run in the ocean.I cant say enough good things about mine i guess

Make sure you get a V that has race technology if you want it to handle at high speeds! My V bounces people around a little more in Havasu chop than my cat at did. But when it's too rough for the cat my V kicks butt. You have to decide if you want a cabin or not as starters. And have $4000 a year for the insurance cat gods. I always liked the handling of my cat but I want the versatility of very rough water and ocean Catalina trips. Give us some details on your idea of boating.

97 American Offshore 26 454mag bottom end with good heads, cam and intake. ProCharger M1 at 7.5#s, XR drive. Best ever was 102mph. 350hrs of blown fun and still running hard when I sold it April 04.

Faster - that is one sweet cat! Interesting it is smoother than your Y2K on chop. I've always wondered what size of cat would be necessary for the bigger water on a busy LOTO weekend. I've heard guys with 25-26'ers can't get going enough to get on top the huge rollers the cruisers put out. I'm pretty darn sure your Y2K would do quite well on LOTO.
HH - that's a great pic!

The rollers are handled by the Superboat much better. What I refer to is the wakes slamming each other from other boats comming from my side. If thier comming at you, the V and lenght of the Superboat will handle 8'ers. The American Offshore I've had on top of 5-6'ers at 80mph :eek: but when going slow they came right on top the deck and slammed me in the face. Of all the cats this size I think the AO can handle the biggest water. My friends wouldn't take thier Daytona's out in more than 3'ers.

The wind here in Wichita is so bad that 3'ers are not at all uncommon on my local lake (Cheney) due to wind alone! Those days the girls stay home and only my die hard buddies will go to the lake with me! Quite a ride in my 24'er!

Some of those pics look unreal. I don't know what I'd do if I was that high in the air. Fortunately I would be able to hose down my interior.
