Default RE: shockwave 36, or thundercat 31

well, here is what conditions you would want to use each boat in....

the TC31 is a catameran, so naturally, it would perform best in calm water....because its shorter than the SW36, it wont take waves as good....but its wider, so it is more stable than the SW36

I have the SW36...its a good boat for the price...it can handle rough ansd calm conditions relativly well.....it does go faster in calm, but it a LOT more fun to use in rough.
now, because it's not as wide, it will tend to bob side to side at fast speeds when hitting wake....but i have never flipped mine (yet)....i guess i need to be more hard on it[>:]

overall, both boats are good...but like Zelatio said...the size and conditions of your lake factor wich boat to get.....

just to give you more info on how the boats handle....there is a vid somewhere where both boats race....they are neck and neck most of the time....however..the TC31 flipped 3 times, while the SW36 did not flip at all....but im not saying the SW36 is better.....or am i
