The boat we are on is indeed john Burdens Revenger 24, the boat in front is "Hand relief" before it started its racing career and the boat at the back is a Crusader 16.

I nearly bought that Revenger 25 SC!
But on close inspection it had some gelcoat issues on the interface between colours (between the white/grey/yellow)
Always quite liked the old SC's though.

Nick Kirby ending up buying it, and then a couple of years later added one of our Honda race boats to his collection!

That crusader was a nightmare,
If i remember rightly it had a 115hp blueband mercury on the back and chine-walked like Fred Astaire danced!
The revenger 25 Sc was a very nice boat, the styling might not have been to everyones taste but it was a very capable weekender. We had a lot of fun on that boat.

I always thought they were a good looking boat as cruisers go, especially when you think they came out about 25 years ago (much like TD)

When I am running flat out, on dead calm water, with the engine trimmed out (up) as far as poss for top speed, eventually I will hit a ripple (literally), one side of the boat will touch, then the other, with increasing frequency so that the boat is rocking madly. I have to back off the throttle or it feels like the boat will flip.
Is this 'Chine-walking'?

You know; I read stuff on here sometimes & I feel like I must just have such tiny, tiny gonads.
I get scared; my arm shuts the throttle.
