V-hull design at 200? WHY?
After reading about Ben coming over to CIG, and a few mentions of OLD speed records, DOES ANYONE REALLY WANT TO GO 200 MPH in a mono hull? I mean, the CAT is designed for that and it is much safer and better handling at those speeds, SO WHY?

Also makes you wonder if Cigarette ever considered a cat?
