I think that is a pretty good overview. I spent 45 minutes with water patrol immediately following the pace lap. It was not a real friendly conversation.

That is really a shame. I just can't believe that "I can't stay trimmed out at less than 100" is actually used as an excuse! I, for one, would find only very limited enjoyment at owning a boat that would not plane at 40.

Sounds like it is the ego's that can't stay trimmed out under 100. That or there are some seriously deficient boating skills in that group.

Of course, you could just ban the Cat's and have an event for just the real offshore boats....
