Miss Geico vs. King of shaves

Hi, Guys just remember that some folks like blondes and some like brunettes.

I like reds lol. I must admit I love the looks of the ekos. I've got the p1 and it may not be the best boat out there but it just looks so nice.

Good analogy, but not many of us guys like fatties. The Miss Geico is a fatty. I just can't get past the shape of the hull. If your going to license a boat, make it look good. It out handles the EKOS but the EKOS is perfectly scaled.

If you are interested in a shelf-queen, we could have made it "scale"... If you want it to actually WORK on the water... it's just where it needs to be...

Water, just like air, doesn't scale... What works at 30-40', does NOT work at all at 30"... Especially at the much faster than scale speeds we achieve. That's why everyone comments on how well the Miss Geico, the Mystic, and also the AQ Motley Crew, handle so well... The designers kept this truth in mind.

OH, and, by the way... V-hulls DO handle rough water better than Cats... That's why the majority of P-Ltd Offshore wins out there are had by Monos....

Yep. That's what I was saying. Dziachin said he wants a cat for when the water is choppy. I wasn't asking if v hulls were better in chop than cats, I was stating that to him. As for the Geico, absolutely agree. For racing its much better. But comparing apples to apples - look at the comparable handling of the Miss Geico and the Motley Crew - (best goes to the Geico), but the Motley Crew is fairly spot on scale replica of a Skater cat. Geico is a great performing boat, but could have put a little more effort into the shape of the hull. Scale can translate. HPR's are spot on scale, and handle phenomenal with racing, they're not only made for Swedish high speed runs...
