SUTPHEN BABY!!!!!!!
man i want a sutphen so bad, a 30 or 33 with some nice 525 efi's with some goodies, nice reliable boat with just the right power, mmmmmmmmmmm.
im sure it wouldnt be as nice as a 38 or 41 or 46 etc, but i know they will hold there own in there size class without a question. id even love a 26 single 525 i bet that thing would rip circles in hard water around my 26 checkmate and my fathers 25 outlaw.
man i want one, anyone have a few bucks i can borrow. lol
ps, some of the boats thus far on here a super sweet as well!!

One, I was kidding him about his examples.
Two Some azzhole named Mike Vorce f*cked up ever getting a 47 Saber to run against Ruthless but thats another story. I still believe what I said and I watched Kemosabe get to Beaver Island way ahead of everyone else in some rough water this summer in Boyne Thunder but racing has clearly proved over the years that cats are tough to beat. NK

I hope that 47' Saber can still be accomplished.

Gotta say sutphens in thier size and class are tough to beat but thats not new news.
They have been known for being a killer rough water boat for very long time.
The new sutphen line up Ritchie is working on should turn some heads in the very near future too.

Based upon personal experience in a variety of Apaches, Cigarettes, Magnums and Fountains, in around 6ft seas, I would rate the boats as follows:
1st: Apache 47
2nd: Apache 41
3rd: Cigarette 39 Unlimited
In seas under 6ft there is a lot less to choose between these three which stand above the rest.

I don't know if it is the pics, but the deck on Kemosabe looks long compared to LC and INXS.
