New 18' Kustom Cat
 
2 Attachment(s)
I just pulled the trigger on a new 18’ Kustom Cat Powerboat. It is time to make the mini a little bit bigger, as this will be replacing the Cougar Cub. It should be going in the mold in a few weeks. I will post some pictures as the project progresses.

That's very cool. How do they run? With what power?

Very cool. Whats the history on the hull? looks like an old Fiocht Cat. I think they were 16' though.

Congratulations to BWS on your purchase!
It runs a couple clicks over 70 with 150hp.

Tantrum ,
It started to be Designed off the 15’6” OE but as the design progressed it was soon determined that the time was now to make some changes and add some new features. Like, body line, extra strake, moved the step, pointed the sponsons, more freeboard, remove the bussell, all new deck design, and so on. So not much stayed the same. As you can see from these pic’s.

How much for a blank hull and deck?

Tantrum 04-21-2011 07:19 PM

tizbad4 that is awesome. Are you building these hulls in house.
Id be interested in getting some info from you. Do you have an option list and pricing? Were can I see one? Are there any in the NY/NJ area?

Give me a call and we can discuss pricing. We are currently building (mini me) kustom builds for each customer’s needs to replicate there larger boat. These boats are built in house and I am currently working on our standard build pricing and option list. Because of the nature of the Kustom builds currently all the boats previously built are with their owners.

Is it CG rated for a 150 and have you tested with anything bigger? I will be looking to upgrade from my 13' tunnel with a 130hp but also want to go faster. Interested to know how it would float/handle with a V6 outboard (350-375 pounds). How deep is the tunnel at the transom?

I know one is running around with a 150 Mercury Verado...which I think is over 500 lbs. dry weight.

18' Cat with no center pod...does the boat have the typical cat "hop" at moderate speeds?? It's a great looking hull. You should advertise/post them on screamandfly.com for all the outboard gofast guys to see!!!

So what's the price? Is it secret? :)
