![]() "WARREN WOLK" wrote in message news:zMfqh.1600$Wz.111@trndny06... Ummm...that didn't last long. What's up Steve? Part of the deal. I get a new one every year, just as soon as I sell the "old" one. There's nothing that I don't like about the boat, it's been by far the best boat I've ever been in, bar none. It's roomy, comfortable, incredibly stable, has tons of room, is easy to clean up, inexpensive to run and faster than most boats in it's class. It's just that I am selling this one, because I want one of the new boats. The new models are being built using a different process that reduces the hull weight from 1,150 pounds to between 750 and 800 pounds, and is even stronger than before! So that means I still have the strength and stability of my current ride, but it will be even faster and more fuel efficient when I keep my foot off the HotFoot. I've heard preliminary runs with a new hull, with the same outboard that I'm running now have hit speeds in the triple digit range when unloaded of fishing gear. Plus, if I'm retiring from the FD, I'll have more time to devote to the tv show, and I need a boat that is a little more video tape friendly color. The white that I have now, while nice and cool in the summer has a tendency to "blow out" on video tape. So, I'm going to talk to some video experts and see what color will work better. And I cannot imagine a better boat for videotaping on the water, it's an unbelieveable camera platform. If I wasn't acting as a rep for FastCat, I'd be keeping this boat for a long, LONG time! -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |

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........ -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |
