Steve Dashew has recently posted a very comprehensive article addressing the issue of vessel stability (along with some pretty scary footage of what can happen when you end up on the wrong side of the stability curve). It also has some very compelling graphs and illustrations detailing the design characteristics of the FPB 64.
The same kind of thought that went in to the hull design and its safety at sea is typical of the kind of thought that has gone in to every system aboard the FPB 64 – no exceptions.
I reference it here because it speaks directly to the reasons my wife and I purchased an FPB 64. After 45 years of boating, we simply don’t know of anything else that comes close. We will gladly admit that we are biased, but 600 miles from land that is a pretty good feeling to have.
