There is a reason they went out of production so quickly. You'd do much better with a 30 motion cat or 32 skater. If you are dead set on this type of cat, a Superboat cat is of the same design (George Linder) and is a much better constructed boat.I hope this helps you out.:ernaehrung004:
Hmmmm, sounds like he knows someone at Superboat, or has a bud that is trying to sell his Superboat cat. If you are going to come on this forum and write such negative information----------back it up with your knowledge base.

That's is very interesting. Some good numbers. When I had my original Merc 7.4L 330HP motors (no flowscans installed) I did some fuel consumption crunching. Best I could get was at around 45 mph---3600 rpm-----10-12 gallons per hour per motor. Trick was staying off the secondaries. Water conditions meant alot too. 1' to 2' chop with little wind.
