Jay Pilini, the master boat builder has completed the molds on his 34 foot catamaran; model name 34 XCS. The Pilini camp has been quiet as weeks and months pass and not a single peep. Today the molds have finally emerged in beautiful black shine. With a running surface of 34' 3" and a tunnel width of 59", this cat is ready to roll among the big guns!
With a beam of 10 feet, Jay's new model can safely carry the new big motors from Mercury Racing. The new model is aimed directly at the 400R and 400ROS motors. Although this hull is Uuuuge, she has a lightweight construction because of the materials that will be used throughout the build process. Exotic materials such as Carbon, Kevlar, and Core Cell will be standard in all builds. Gone are the wood laminates such as balsa, this hull is built to last.
The hull bottom is a 5-step design to air out the running surface. The cockpit boasts a wrap-around windshield and has seating for 6. Four-across rear bench will be a welcome space for those who have a large crew or for just sitting and relaxing with the scenery. An optional 7-seater cockpit is possible making it a 3x4 option.

The deck design of any boat is probably the most visible part that differentiates one manufacturer from all the rest. Jay Pilini's 34 has definitely hit some design cues that would make his new 34 cat very unique. The deck will incorporate hatches that are very functional. The starboard hatch for instance will carry both the anchor and fenders. But besides the functionality aspect of it, the deck has some great new lines that reminds me of a sports car when viewed from the rear. Let's see what other design elements will be added to the deck while its being completed this week. Waiting anxiously for Jay's next set of pics and I will post asap.

I second the different look to this deck. It amazing artistry and design to have different body lines, angles and still emulate a stylish functional shape. He has an incredible talent and eye for building, design and engineering. Kudos Look forward to updates to this new model.

When I asked Jay what materials he had planned for the 34 cat, he said "... I only put the finest laminates in my boats ". From the pic, they truly are high end components.
"First picture of a complete Pilini Marine 34cat... kind of... in kit form" Jay said jokingly.

Due to colder than usual temps in Clearwater, FL, Jay has been holding off on the start of his latest catamaran build. But today, the temps have warmed up a bit and Jay began the build of his new 34 foot catamaran speedboat. As previously noted in this thread, the quality workmanship and high-end materials going into his latest 34 foot craft will be shared to everyone. Pictured below is one of Jay's long time team member shooting the skin coat onto the newly built mold of the 34 XCS.
"...we will be powering the new cat with 400R motors" Jay said. I can't wait to see this offshore cat's performance numbers!
