BRAND NEW CHEETAH CAT - Please Respond!

[Steve 1]

I grew up on a 25 I/O, and loved the flexibility of the I/O. One day, if/ when I can afford my own boat, it will be a Cat, and I love the idea of a 35. So I voted 35.

Thank you for your vote.

I would have to say the 32 O/B....with Doug W doing a great job with his and with the X-Cat class having 20+ boats...it might be a boat to compete with...

Good point and thank you .

I'd like to see something that could be a step towards reasonable cat insurance rates. Maybe you guys could use small power since your previous hulls seem very efficent.

That is a very good point, we need to get with a Agent and find a cheap way to get some people in a cat,we can build the boat around small power.

How about a 40 Outboard? It's enough boat to go in any water, yet the outboards should be significantly lighter and cheaper. Yes, you won't get the speed of a 40 Skater with a pair of Sterlings, but the market for those boats is much smaller. I myself would be interested in something like this. And I can imagine the insurance would be significantly cheaper as well.

A 40 outboard Cat would be pretty cool ,I will do some work on the new outboards and make some speed projections. Thank You

40 foot cat with Quad 350 outboards would be interesting!

40 foot cat with Quad 350 outboards would be interesting!

As well as reliable and the rebuild time is not every couple of months.

Good Point and easy to work on.

I didn't see an option for the 22' Stingray copy running on pump gas.

something to compete with the 2 main racing classes

a 32' o/b to compete in x-cat or superstock

or a 41-42 to run in supercat/ class 1

Thanks ,There is a 10 meter boat I have worked out, 42 supercat I will check the rules.

[skaterdave]

used to be max of 40' for supercat-750 & max 42' for 850sc. but i think that from what i read and understand that OSS and the piston supercat classes are going to try to group all the piston classes together. it'll be interesting to see how biloxi goes!

steve, what exactly are you guys doing and where. i haven't been able to follow all these different threads, so could you clarify for me exactly what your up to.

are you in business or just making one off boats for fun? whats the story?

Sometimes they state in the rules the boat must be from a mold/molded and then say how many built before allowed to race ,I have not followed the rules here in a while and would have to check ,overseas it is different.

I do consulting work also and have designed a line of Diesel Patrol boats (Cummings powered Cats)we are going to market ,the race stuff took me all over and will never forget where I came from ,nowadays have a "creative" 10 meter race boat that needs to be built and Steve 2 has some nice looking boats from 22 to 45 feet we will take it one day at a time maybe put the T-4 Bottom under a New Vee Bottom who knows.

I want to thank everyone here for being so nice.
