[sarcasm] yes, because otherwise the class might not grow [/sarcasm]
Jake, I wasnt trying to bash F18, but in 5 or 7 or 10 years, what will the world look like? Do you think the F18 will stay current at its current min weight if other lighter faster boats or classes take hold? I mean look at the F16 for a glint of that happening now.
The F18 will grow and will continue to be successful, but what happens when the next new new thing comes out? We all going to jump on that?
Just my 2 cents, and what do I know?
