V hulls with no changes is tough since there has been some tweaking along the way notch/un-notch transom/pad/no pad changes etc. The 38 T/S TG is relatively unchanged for a a 10-11 year run. The 35/38/42 Fountain is relatively unchanged albeit trim changes like Lightning/Executionere etc. Fountain has built a lot of boats but Formula was pumping out a lot of 353/382 Fastech's also.

Sunsation re-did their 32 in a twin step in 06 but by 08 added a pad so tweaks like that are what I mean for changes.

Thank you

What Cat hull do you think is the most prolific?

Would it be one of the Eliminator hulls ?

Alec ,The Pantera has 525's and is at it's legal weight of 10,600# I have heard 93 mph . The old Apaches with 900's would hit 100+ from the feed back I have got.

The Pantera at 10,000# Poker run Bagged and Cored with everything imaginable onboard and the 900's @ 125 looking at the information I have seen.

The old 23 Formula was the most copied ,at one beach show I counted 18 under different names.

Yes and the Skater 24 you can find it all over the earth under different names.

The Pantera with 700's and 6s would be a long lasting great Poker Run boat then.

that would be a sweet ride

Alec Hands down,wash it change the Oil ,kick the tires and light the fires go have fun,it is a computers Idea of a Apache.

Thanks Steve

Lets say you had the opportunity to start from scratch.
We see the economy, and how the trends have changed in the past few years.

You can build one model of boat ONLY.
You can have ONE mold, ONE ONLY.

Given those parameters, what would you build?

V ? Cat? Length? Power? Drives?

The boat isnt for you, its for commercial customers, so give us your impression of what you would build to get the most volume out of.

Alec I have a 33 foot open CheetahCat ,road Legal designed as a single diesel IO and outboard single or twin, I built a test plug while overseas ,the Kuwaiti's loved the thing called it the flying carpet anyway it is a fuel miser and the numbers then showed @7 miles per gallon single diesel Then and I had two 50 gallon round fuel tanks planned in the sponsons like my other cats.

You said one set of molds, OK Open Fisherman deck and I would KRYPTON infuse the boat and have all the material Kitted, the first piece on top of the box is the first one used, Resins got to be careful here a good Vinylester as nothing wears like a good gelcoat job.
