Jim,
Thanks for the detailed analysis

. I couldn't figure out why one cat would perform so much different than the others but your explanation makes sense to me. Years ago I fished a long range trip out of Panama city on a huge Cat headboat and remembered it was a real solid ride. I think if more people had the explanation you just gave me, they would be purchasing different hulls. Thanks again, and I won't hesitate when it comes time to take you up on your offer.
Take care,
Butch
