You wanna trade a ride in a go fast for a ride in an Aerobatic? How could I say no?
Nasty - nope. It is a 18,000 pound when fully fueled and 5 people. Made of Kevlar, and a deep Vee ocean race boat built by Cougar in England. Dominated offshore for about 5 or 6 years late 80s.
Then the Cats and stepped hulls took over. But those are really not to safe in big water or in turns. Cats tend to take off, and have no control surfaces. Stepped hulls do not handle turns well at all. In both cases, death usually occurs when something goes wrong.
My boat drives like it is on rollercoaster rails. I love going out in 6-8 footers. It's usually only me on the lake then, even the sailboaters stay away. So the lake is mine when it is horrible on the water. I just love coming off of wave crests and flying for a while.
I've ridden in Fountains, Cigarettes, Active Thunders, etc. Mine rides like a Benz; theirs rides like a Chevette.
