Sounds like fun

Since this thread has been resurrected...and I've never been in a cat I do have a couple questions. My understanding with the cats is once they are on plane (and generating lift) they will run smooth as hell. With 7 foot waves, can you get them to plane, and then run them in this water? How about the bigger V's also? Since I'm only running a 25' boat I wouldn't be caught dead in this water, but how would say, a 51 Outerlimits and/or a Nortech 50 cat do in this kind of water, or would they both be at the dock with my boat?

I've got to wonder if those really big cats start to run like an acronoplan........:confused:
