Philip
It was great chatting with you the other day. I was a HUGE Jesse James fan and knew the Lavins very well. Growing up in KW I never got to see the Rolling Thunde 4 engine boat but from the few pictures I have senn it is BAD ASS! If anyone had some more pics of it they could post I would appreciate it. I would love to see all aspectes including rigging and cockpit. THANKS.

Well first I'm going to solve the powerhead "problem"........... Keeping up with Sick NIck, Charlie and Eric was a major engine eating proposition.

As to the graphics............ I need to send you some photos.

Did you manage to get your lower unit problem worked out? how is your boat running? I just bought several sets of props. Iwant to do some testing as soon as the water gets soft again.

T2x,

Now honestly my friend, isn't a "cat" thread really a Vee thread with training wheels?

Phillip, I went sliegh riding in your skater with Smitty the other day. Cool ride on the big hill. A little hard to steer until we dropped the motors a bit. Lower units, worked fine for us.

Rich's posts were the first of what I'd call the Super Threads. Great threads filled with a wealth of information. They're few and far between.
I have to agree with Too Old on this one. The Cat/V hull threads are some of the best I've read.

T2x,

Keeping up with Charlie will always be difficult. That guy spends his ENTIRE LIFE making that thing go as fast as possible! I have never seen a human so consumed wih having the fastest 28. The boy needs some professional help!

All you guys with fast cats, what prop slip% are you running? What props worked well ? What props did not work for you. What power and drives are you running?
