I do wish Steve would do a hull change another chime would help when your in a big following sea. The technology is changing faster than the boats are. The engines are getting stronger and faster. If I was in the new market for a boat I would be looking at the hull design close. Do you but a boat for 150g's that rides good at 20kts or pay the same price for a boat the rides great at 30-35knts. Maybe it's my generation, having the speed to get somewhere faster is more important. I felt it first hand two weeks ago when a parker and I were racing to the same spot I got out-ran and left for the spot first. Joe
