O/B Cat guys: XCat series?
Just got these photos from Ocke Mannerfelt of Batboat fame. He's working with the Victory guys on a cat for the X-Cat series. I had never heard of it (apparently, this is the first season), but I see that Whittier and Ballough are running it and finished second in the first race.
What do you experts think of the design?

From what I hear there is a stiff price tag on one without motors. Someone quoted it at 200K. Any chance of you getting that info for us C_Spray?

Sorry - Should have stated that Whittier/Ballough were running in the X-Cat series, not in this boat. There are two of these right now, one is #8 Victory, and the other is S-20 Servizi Fondiari. They expect to have four of these hulls running by the next race, and five or six by race #5.
Here's some video on the series. Looks pretty organized.
