V vs Cat question.....

[glh]

This is running in the MTI between 100-130 on the Hudson with 2-3 ft chop toward the end Frankie told me we went over a boat wake that was 8' my co pilot points at it at 1:25 and we run over it at about 1:35.

Frankie told me he was trying to negotiate it with his 26 American Offshore very slowly and he saw stainless and me go over it around 110 barely lifting, he then turned to his wife and said, like Quint "We're going to need a bigger boat"



There is a higher def version here; http://www.limestonedev.com/mti/video/10102009_Stainless_DOI.mov

And this is the same boat in rough stuff when it was racing being throttled by Johnny Tomlinson;



This is the Tiger with #6's running in the Keys in about 2-3 footer running from 85-98...




Hope this helps it was and is a blast doing those videos!!!!

Here is an example: The First Cheetahcat a 36' Powered by 2-200's and one of those Borrowed from a Fishing boat. Check out the ride and watch the helmets bouncing in the Vee Bottom.

I personally chose Skater as the boat I'd like to own, and I couldn't be happier with my decision on not only the brand, but the size & power I ended up with.

Looks like the engine mount broke on the dyno, when the brake kicked in . LOL

I hope this helps you in your research, I 'll add a couple videos under here if you care to spend the time looking...

I should have just asked you from the get go. I knew you had had a cafe, tiger, and now the DOI boat....

This is "long term" research.....The Cafe is more than enough boat for my pocket book right now, but you need to dream big....

No problems...

And remember it's a Skater Nation,,,,,, but I have an MTI!

or it was making that much torque when they pulled the throttles back it torqued itself back over? I'm clueless around a dyno and to me all but the end result is boring. I don't care how motors work just as long as they do!

Regardless- fairly impressive to me that she goes from some high RPM's to idling flawlessly!

LOL, no Mark..... he's kind of right, but thankfully short of breaking a motor mount! :willy_nilly:

When I first watched the video, i was obviously excited.....but I definitely "jumped" when it kicked back there at the end! What a neat video though, as ANY nice dyno pull is for all of us! Glad you liked it! :cheers2:

kw wed, kinda bumpy.... amsoil averaged in the mid 80's, muscle and global warmer ran in the high 70's.... same power, longer vee's... cat wins out.

the 32 ob guys were averaging the same times as the 525 vee guys.

sean if you put bob teague in muscle or global warmer ,, he would have won in their boat,,

When the 40 skater came out! :sifone:

The boat that really was a major change for cats in the Skater stable was the 24 which was built before the 21 and then came the 32 A , 40 and the 28 shortly after each other . I have to say that after the 24 came out and being such a hot boat and winning races left and right that it was a magor change for cats back then , triple digits with twin 2.4's and then the 32 A , either pleasure or with F16 fighter canopy's..................................... WOW !!

The days of Team Apache keeping up with Seahawk, or the other "prototype" high performance cats, have just long since been eclipsed. It absolutely does NOT make a big, burly Vee ANY less bad ass, fun to own, and especially fun to drive!

I was referring to open class and the cats outrunning the big Apache's
