I know the A-Cats are wickedly delicate, but they're managing to build them underweight. Thats a foot longer than the FXone, and two over the F16. Losing the spin equipment is worth 25lbs, not having a main halyard, and making the hulls freakishly small are all things helping this along too. I guess shedding 85lbs is alot to get the FX down to the F16 weight, and halving the weight would be borderline impossible to get it down to A-cat weight. Unless you were comfortable owning a boat that would be destined for the landfill at the end of each day.

The more I thought about this improved FXone today the more upset I got about it. I can't even get anyone to buy the cheap model in my area. I'm screwed if I think I can get someone to buy a even more expensive model. The other downside is that I would want one of these, and at the moment there isn't another boat that I'm really all that interested in getting. I like the platform, ALOT. With this new carbon boat, I'm sure the current FXone will be tossed in the trash-can by HCE, so there will be no new boats coming in at all. I don't know what to do. I was psyched when I bought my FXone, even more so now cause I'm finally starting to get good on it, I really don't want to race on handicap, and I don't want to go back to a non-spin boat, a H16, or a Tiger. Not wanting crew either eliminates those two. I should just get back into racing motorcycles. Supermoto is way too much fun.

Next question, whats it rate?
