Winter must be setting in.
There are quite a few assumptions being made about his boat on this thread by people that have not seen it, been in it or even asked about it. They just feel they need to toss in there often biased opinion.
This boat is A LOT more capable in rough water than it has been assumed. Mark did state that the only thing he can relate to you is that it is smoother than a 29 Fountain (from Fountain owners, not him).. a lot bigger boat. Which incedently is another pad vee ( notice that On the Chip ).
Before any of you make assumptions......... go for a ride.

PS. You ragged me pretty good this Spring for building Tyler a solid glass bottom in our new 26 Joker. Rack up another Championship for the 1st 26 we built. Also call Tyler and ask him what his favorite boat is that he's ever owned.

I think all of you are crazy,a 27 activator with 525efi runs in the low 90s and can race OFFSHORE.The activator is a proven winner.this huff thing is a streched 21 superboat,lightweight no freeboard.take that out in 4 footers at 90 and you wont be coming home with much left.The joker guy is right on the mark.THE HUFF BOAT IS NICE FOR A LAKE BOAT.For the money I would like to be able to thrash it offshore as well as take the family out.If you want I will test it for you
Yes the TUFF 21 is related to the Challenger,
BUT I did not spend hours with the CAD guy drawing out the lines of the TUFF 28 and testing with model after model to have someone claim it is a stretched Challenger. If you actually came here and looked at both the 21 and 28 you would see the lines are different and no proportion are the same. ... And I guess the new TUFF 15 that I'm designing is just... what...a squished Challenger... Can no one other that George draw anything? Come on!

Thought I'd post this:
Boat with pad bottom hull Document Type and Number:United States Patent 5390624 Link to this page:http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5390624.html Abstract:A planing boat having a stern and a bow includes a hull having a generally flat central bottom surface forming a portion of a pad with the surface tapering from a specified width at the stern towards the bow. Reverse wedge surfaces blended with the central bottom surface at the stern and deadrise surfaces blended with the central bottom surface and intersecting with the reverse wedge surfaces continue forward towards the bow. The rear portion of the flat bottom surface is tipped upwardly towards the stern.

A 30 Activator runs 85 with a 525 and it is much larger and heavier than a 27. Curty used to race a 27 and drove it like a retard... he should know.
