I dunno, I was pretty impressed last year with the ride on my buddy's new 38' Fountain CC with the triple supercharged Merc 300's

Of course, 2+ tons of fuel for ballast when it's topped off helps - and cruising at 50 MPH seriously cuts the commute time from the dock to the Block

I was always amazed at how quiet it was - and how much throttle was still left even at 50...

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
