That post right there is the best one yet!


+1. I bought my Infusion based upon accessibility to the dealer and parts in my area, at the time of my purchase. (This situation has since become more competitive with an AHPC dealer entering the area now.)

All F-18's are quite competitive between brands. Tigers tend to be a little heavier and the design getting a little dated, but no great shakes on performance differences overall. All the others are mostly the same. Hardware on the AHPC boat is a little more refined, but they all have their quirky differences.

A good skipper and crew make the difference on the F18, not the boat. Look at last year's Tybee-Heemskirk won sailing on a Tiger-(annihilating the rest of the competion)...sooo it ain't the boat; it's the nut on the tiller that usually makes the difference.
