John the water in the photo is more or less typical for an average NJ DAY.(giant to some average to those used to running the northAtlantic Ocean)Frank i spoke to Chuck about this.He said exactly what you said ,about riding on top of the water in his 42 Fountain.He also was of the opinion that a Cig,LS Scarab or Apache would probably be a better fit for me due to the fact i want to be able to take day trips without having to worry about getting the crap beat out of me.(Chuch relayed the experience he had off Long Island in 8 s plus with his 42 )

I truely realize it costs(correct drives ect )My old 31 race Sutphen with tripple 2.5 Merc offshore racing outboards ran a true 85 (fifteen years ago )and was used(abused ) in the above mentioned Atlantic Ocean for many years .If i go in the 40 foot range 100 mph (to me at least ) is the number
