Lake Norman. NC | Hello, I'm asking for opinions from this group because you folks have experience on a wide variety of boats, and from what I read in the forums you tend to own multiple boats which makes your opinions valuable. If you ask for opinions in an owners group, you pretty much know the answer before you ask.
I read in a post here that they're prone to pitchpoling. Is that a strong tendency, or an annoyance?
Is there anything in particular I need to look out for when buying one?
Lastly, do you know of any for sale or that the owner may be tired of? I'm aware of the one in Eastern NC, and one Ive seen in online classifieds, and the one that sold on ebay 2 weeks ago. I'm still kicking myself over that one.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

South Florida & the Keys | Kenny Pierce of the Miami Yacht Club took a 4th place overall in the Miami Key Largo this year in moderate to heavy air. There are 3 or 4 23's at the MYC. Maybe a call to the club can help find answers.

| It's an intriguing boat. Maybe someone who knows him could ask Mr. Pierce to write a few words about it.

Roanoke Island ,N.C. | I'd think Kenny would know a little more about it than his dad(Mr. Pierce).

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.

Naples, FL | No, someone should ask the Stiletto what it thinks of Kenny. You're more likely to get a quick response.

South Florida & the Keys | I talked to the Stilleto earlier today, she said " Me love Kenny long time". I don't know how to interpret that , but that is what she said.

Gulf Coast relocated from Cali... | A Stiletto 23 wont pitch pole with Kenny driving it, it just keeps moving forward with no loss of speed and Kenny standing on the stern whipping it.
Nor will it flip over, the earth will just circle around it when Kenny's at the helm.

Naples, FL | They modeled the Flying Dutchman in Pirates of the Carribean after Kenny's Stiletto.
I think that some of the movie may actually be live footage of him sailing off the wind (the part where the Dutchman drives under)...
