Hey Bob, I kinda take offense, there. I bought a boat in a class where there is really good competition and some great people. I don't know your situation, but I frequently move my F18 around by myself - and I'm not a big guy.

Your point about the F16 class growing may be on target, and I can guarantee that if the racing is there someday, then I will be, too. Right now I have a gorgeous, extremely well-made boat that gets me class racing wherever I go. Just as you say, that is exactly what I want and deserve - but I don't say that with a sneer as you seem to. I've been abstaining from posting, but this thread has gotten absurd.
