Probably not a fair statement since no 24' cat is better than a 24 Skater in rough water...and no 21' vee is better in the rough stuff than a Challenger/Shadow from which the 21 Superboat was taken.
It's a question of best handling for a specific size. I remember when Fabio Buzzi brought a bunch of his 24 foot cats over to Key West for the World's in '83 or so....They looked great in the harbor, but I think every one of them flipped at the Sand Key turn.

I was just watching a video of a Barnegat race in the 21' Superboat, and you were commenting how fast we were going. Then a much bigger cat came flying by us out of nowhere. They looked like they were out for a Sunday drive, and we were hanging on for dear life. They really need to bring back "A" class. It wasn't the fastest, but it was economical and fun. Ahhhhhh, memories.

That's what I thought was funny in Ben's interview about the boat. They claim it runs 120........at 3:26 on this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_6vdTEChas

I like the "face lift" you did to your boat---don't even recognize it anymore accept for those cool looking seats. I remember stopping by Wesseldyk's shop during the winter of 06/07 while the engines were being built for the Apache you now own. Sounds like they're running well for you.
