funcat
I owned 1 of 2 B72's built for 20yrs. Have not seen Vanray since we stopped racing them long time ago. Plain and simple he thought he could get more speed out of it so he could win races. It did't work think it was slower. I can tell you this on a 13' original boat tunnel does not start working well til 70 mph. Did not see that with a 75 stinger had to put a 135 crossflow. Biggest hp i put on it was 235 crossflow.

Has anyone ever seen a Kar-Marine cat? I really like the size (18' or so) and the freeboard. I'd be really interested in something similar state-side. I just wish there was a manufacturer of a cat this side with a good tall tunnel that could handle some 2'-3' chop!

The Fun Cat was an exact scaled down version of the 30 ft Shadow. Therefore is ran the same way. The boats always had a hop in them until you reached a certain speed. Once over that speed the tunnel begins to start working.
Hop goes away and you now are running on a cushion of air and dancing on two pads....
Billy has the most R&D hours and HP ever put on a Fun Cat to my knowledge.
Here is a shot of Billy running behind me and my Bullet 130 but I will be the 1st to admit, alot of times that was not always the case... Great times back then !
