...re: Rusty's muddied waters...you must be on the wrong side of the pond...I just walked up from the dock and the water was crystal clear and refreshing here in Meredith......
...re: boat reality...ALL the marinas on the Lake would PREFER to sell the family bow-riders/day-boats/cruisers rather than the performance boats...the PROFIT margins on the cruisers is much larger than a like-size performance boat...and the market is larger...
...re: the hull truth...All those vents, steps, pads, reliefs, strake placement and angles, and other doo-dads on the bottoms of ALL the major companies, have raised efficiency and performance by implementing things that have first appeared on race boats...in other words, the Cowboys are the one's that are leading the technological edge with R & D and passing it down the line to the more sedate, cowgirl crowd...techno-trickle-down...you're welcome....
