The even more crazy thing is that boat is stored on a lift at his house in Sarasota.

Seen that boat a couple times and every time it never fails to drop my jaw.

I've had the 382 on some small local lakes. Closest water to the house is Dillon lake, great for testing!

Well you ruled out the Great Lakes or I'd say the Ford family yacht. Not counting the freighters of course. Saw a giant ocean going freighter once from Singapore and tugs were guiding it through the channel in the St. Clair River. We were listening to them on the radio. Pretty cool.

Well, there is no such thing as too big, but I'm not sure you would ever see conditions where a 40 foot boat would be safer than a 25-30' boat. After that it's all about who's biggest, or taking along all your crap LOL.

As for big boats, performance style. I submit my friend Jerry's boat. 85 feet, 60+ mph, custom built, simply unbelievable. And he has buildings at his marina so large that it stays in it's own little corner over the winter. Jerry always thinks BIG![ATTACH=CONFIG]517769[/ATTACH]

Wow 85' boat that's 5' longer than that Nortech. At that size the boat can do 60mph pretty impressive. I could only imagine how big the waves would be.

If you ever get a chance get a pic, I would love to see that, we have some 65' Sea Rays up on lifts down here we see on the way out the ICW, but nothing in the 80' range.
