I believe unless the new boat can outrace the I-20s and 6.0s in the local distance races it will become a well respected also ran. I understand the little people being excited about a boat they can handle but unless it wins open races no one will care. I hope this is the beginning of a low priced easy to handle revolution but I will reserve judgement until I see the real results. I think a 22' boat with a 10' beam would be a better choice.
