Had my first ride in a Y2K today, thanks to John (H20scene)!
It was an amazing experience. To give some context, I race formula cars and heli-ski, so I'm no stranger to speed and g-force.
John is an excellent pilot and the conditions were perfect to show off the y2k's hull capabilities.
I had no idea a boat could be that small (feels huge), that fast, that stable, that maneuverable and that solid.
Words can't possibly describe it. Definitely a no-compromise design.
The question remains, is it the right boat for me.
The only solution I can come up with is to buy a y2k and a crappy pontoon party boat to keep the girls happy

Ah, yes, that made no sense... I was trying to say that the y2k felt small because it was so mauverable but it felt big because it handeled the wave conditions like they were not even there!

I made windscreens out of acrylic from HD and bolted them to the lip of the canopy. I get no wind in my face, but a nice breeze on top of my head. I used wing nuts so I can put them on and off easily.
And Yes, the Y2K kick a$$!
