Barefoot Bob...My family owns Ginne Springs,im not sure if your familiar with it but its one of the major spring clusters in FL.I learned how to dive when i was about 7 and took my first class when i was 11 but you arent allowed to get your card to you are 12 so i just waited a year,took advanced OW at 12,and a cavern class at 14,and a cave this past year.Ive been spearfishing with my dad for the last 3 or 4 years,at first i didnt like the feel of being 120miles offshore in 120-150ft of water,but i got used to it and now im hooked,my mom says im better with the gun than my dad now since im bringing on average 2-3 fish more than he is to the boat.

I have seen the fresh water underground springs in Florida on TV. Is that what your talking about?

Rough Water, It sure isn't my V-King YT. 1 ft. or above FORGET it. You need to check for loose teeth when you get back

Where did the idea of cougar or talon being rough water boats?
Velocitys have won more races then most of the boats on the pole. Not to mention the question isnt spacific enough, What size??? IO ot OB?? How rough??Lets trim down the question.

This is RUFF...

Easy question--------APACHE

It's not a boat for the open seas but I've had mine for 9 years. I have never been in a boat that rides like that thing does, in
1.5+ft waves. It's awesome and you can still stay into it especially if there's two of you on board.

A few miles out of Jones inlet.

some guys dont see real rough water. Put me and my Velocity up against any boat close to its size and I will embarrass it, 24 Skaters included, once thay start to kite there done. I have plenty of seat time in a few different 24s there great in the chop but death in the slop. How can this pole exist without Velocity in it???

If you are talking about smaller boats that have the potential to be really fast, it is definitely a 22' Velocity.

If you are talking bigger boats, there are sooo many, ie Sonic, APache, Midnight Express (the original drug runner), Scorpion (not Chris Craft) Believe it or not, my buddy used to race the Avanti factory One boat and it carved water like a knife. The same guy will embarrass almost anyone in his new Kryptonite 29 with twin 2.5 efis.

Good luck with the results!

This topic is hard to debate. Where comparing dogs to cats here. It should be divided into sizes of boats. 25 and under, 25 and over V-Hull. And so on for Cats.
