I did not take the posts as negative either. In reality I took the quote from the wrong post. I wanted to hear about the "de-tuned" hull. So Elwood as far as I'm concerned I was not taking your posts as negative and didn't even read the one about going to the Basscat site. However.........I have been coming on these pages for a long time. And I mean like before BBC was created and I have never heard anybody ever say a hull was "slowed down". So I was just kind of looking for that explanation. The hull quote is what I meant to copy. And to tell you the truth if I was not such a Bullet freak and had to have a different boat it would most likely be a Basscat.
