infamous seacraft ride
Last nite I went for a ride on my brother inlaws new steiger craft 26 pilothouse. It was a little breezy and the water wasn't exactly glass. One of the first things I noticed or (felt) was each wave pounding the hull. Bang Bang Bang..All I could think of was "reverse chine hull". I can bet that my 20' sefari would have delivered a superior ride or should I say "cushioned ride". And by coincidence I have a dentists appt today to replace a filling. Should I bill my bro-inlaw ???

Re: infamous seacraft ride
Steigercrafts are known to have a not so good ride. The design of their hull is very shallow and dated...

Re: infamous seacraft ride
Catman, you're right about the ride. I have a 1977 18 foot Super Fisherman, and I'm willing to bet it will out run any other brand of 18 footer out there. New or old. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] The Potter hull design is awesome!! I live in Central Fl., and it can get mighty rough offshore. The funny thing is I'm usually faster into the port than most of the CC's before the storm. [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] I repowered with a new Johnson 150, so I can scoot pretty good. Oh, and by the way, I would bill him for sure!! That's just plain abuse. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
