Hey atleast your splashing your own stuff
Steve i notice your cats have a sharper pointier nose on the sponsons. My understanding was that this type of profile was steered away from in more recent years for a steeper/blunter nose to help give the boats more rebound (for lack of a better word) to help prevent deep stuffing. What are your thoughts on this?

My Boats: I stayed in the mass specific side with the frontal areas (there was not enough weight there to ever push the boat under) adding any more pad or bottom would have made for a horrible running boat.(it does not take much) The Heavy boat Design built light syndrome. Plus I had recovery built into the the forward portion of the tunnel.

Good question,I have to look at the rules but again I would do the boat right down the class line and move the bottom around to match the weight it has to carry.
Thanks that will keep me busy Monday on the phone.

Dave this is the OLD Bottom and still it runs cleanly. BTW That Cobra Cat Had Way better Motors than were on the Cheetahcat. Another story there.
