I spoke to an insurance person regarding Cat insurance, and he said it is about three times higher than a V of the same speed. He said claims were more expensive for the cats because the accidents were more severe with more property damage and injuries.
I think anyone driving a cat who is interested in safely operating it, should have a healthy dose of respect for it. Those making blanket statements about cats being safer than V's probably don't have that respect.

I have lost an engine at least three times at 140+ (35 Motion) Lost a transmission at same speeds twice (MTI). Lost a prop at 110 (MTI). Each time it was completely uneventful. First noticed because we are slowing down. I think the type of cat hull makes the difference. I have also blown at least 8 outboard engines on smaller twin cats 25-30' (Warlock & Motion) again no big deal. Blown at least 6 lower units on o/b cats again nothing but slowing down. So can not prove it by me.
