Fat Jack, my quote was taken from the Baja web page, the article which you posted the link for only backs up my theory that the boat can be well on plane at under 30mph. If it will be at full plane with that much hp at only 16.5mph don't you think that with normal hp it will still be on plane at far less? Being on plane is not necessarily related to speed but more so the efficiency of the hull. Once the boat is up out of the water it does not matter how much power you have under you. It wil maintain plane. I think that having a 36' boat on plane at 16.5mph is quite impressive, probably a lower speed than a lot of family boats. My 30' non GFBL bowrider does not plane that slow yet still does upwards of 60mph. Does this qualify me as the evil partying boater that you point at me as being??? Gimme a break..
And correct me if I am wrong there has never been a 100mph speed limit on 93 or anywhere in NH so why "we" be complaining of infringement on our rights if it was to be lessened??? I own two sports cars that are capable of over 150mph but that does not mean I drive that way. I drive safely and defensively. All my posts have tried to do is to back up that boaters are the wrongdoers and fingerpointers, its not the fault of the boat. Obviously you have a vendetta against GFBL's and you are certainly entitled to it. I have a problem with ignorant people who do not know how to handle the boats they are driving, be it a GFBL or a sailboat or kayak.
