I raced in races in 98 and 99 against the 4 engine diesel boat. It was cool and smoked a lot but it couldnt keep up with the 46 Skaters. We even went to Argentina and race it as well. It was a big water race that day. We took first place that day and Alcone in their 46 Skater took 2nd.

That's because the wimpy courses that are raced today are designed for cats. There are enough flat legs for these 140 mph boats to catch up and throttle back in the rough stuff. Look at Ocean City 93. Tweet Revenge spanked the cats... one of which broke up and landed on the beach in pieces... Everett.. have you ever raced a cat in 4 - 6 foot seas? If so, I want to be your chiropractor.

I've been lucky to have ridden/driven in the biggest, baddest cats, as well as the biggest, baddest vee bottoms over the years, & the cats are considerably faster & more stable than the vee's in every condition.

I like that idea. Where is there water that is consistently 5 ft or more? New Jersey? Lake Michigan?
