    I learned to sail last summer on a lake in Texas and it really is awesome. If you're in to speed boats it might bore you, but it is exillerating in its own way. There is something about the power of the wind moving your boat and the mental challenge of positioning the sails to take advantage of it. Honestly, I left my blackberry in the car and it was the most relaxed I have been in 5 years. Then you can go further to perfect your technique much like racing any motorized vehicle. None of my friends seem to understand it. Sad sort of.

    This is a 88 Robalo. originally a cabin boat, but since cabin was rarely used (only once to overnite in the Gulf while fisshing 25 miles out), decided to remove cabion and put a floor, and seats, and it became a "bow rider", repaited it, etc. Great "tumy tuk" kinda surgery. Believe me...it is the same boat. Cheers.

    she cruises at 47mph. Thats at 5200 feet, so probably 55 at sea level from what I'm told. Thanks, its very comfortable, you could easily live on it for a week or so.

    Love the Slingshot, looks fantastic and no doubt a lot of fun!

    If she cruises at 47, what does she top out at? What engines you have on her? She is beautiful.

    Beautiful rig.

    If I knew how to post pictures......... I have a 30 foot Spectre with twin 300 Merc outboards. Runs 93-99 MPH, depending on the day. I've also owned Allisons and STV's. Small 20 foot rockets that run 100+ MPH.
