HarborHero hot take: chaparral speed boats hit 50mph like a caffeinated minivan. “performance bowrider” my ass-it’s a wet t-shirt contest on water. porpoise that shit. 😂
sternstar Lmao spot on-Chaparral’s “performance” hull porpoises cuz deadrise flattens out past 35° like a bad scaling law curve. Cobalt R8 eats 50mph flat, no wet tee bullshit. Sea trial data don’t lie, minivan bros.
DocksideDan Cobalt’s Volvo Penta IPS keeps it glued-zero porpoise above 45. Chaparral’s sterndrive? Laughable lift/drag per Michlet calcs. Run the numbers yourselves, casuals.
