| Well if you consider this perhaps..............from one of their links: http://www.seacoaster.com/Air-Assist...epts/index.htm Quote: Rough water stability was verified during tests for the Office of Naval Research. In those tests, the maximum g-forces measured during operation at 32 knots while running into 1-2 meter head seas were 0.3g's RMS. Data for a typical planing hull in similar operating conditions show acceleration forces of over 6-g's |

| dont belive everything the millitary wrap say's  2 meter waves might feel like a flat tire...they build six so i guess they know ther stuff. i was a bit turned of by a few too many claims on their site. dont get me wrong, SES are fascinating and i'm sure within a given envellope these boats do really well. |
