Lol Dan. I think I'd like my bassboat to look like...well...a bassboat!

C'mon Warren, open up your line of thought a little bit. The offshore
powerboat racers back in the 1970's used to think, "I want my raceboat to
look like a raceboat." LOL!!! They got their butts handed to them by the
guys driving catamaran hulls. In fact, the cat hulls are so efficient, that
they're now an entirely different class, mostly because vee hulls with the
same power can't run with them!

How many square feet of fishing space do you have in your boat, it's a 21
footer right? There's in excess of 95 square feet of fishing deck space in
my 20 foot Cat. You know how much storage you have in your boat? Ahhh,
there's probably twice that much space in my Cat. You know how long it
takes to make your boat nice, clean and shiney? I clean my boat inside and
out in under an hour. Let's not even get into high speed running or how it
performs when the weather gets snotty. Can you carry up to 24 rods (up to 9
feet long) where they're easily retrieved and stored separately? How about
carrying people? I can seat 4 in my boat and take the family for an outing,
then go run in the mid 80's on tourney day.....

There's so much more to a good bassboat than just looking like a ......
bassboat.

The only way I'll run a different hull will be for strictly business
reasons. If I was a privateer, looking to maximize my efficiency on the
water........
