Re: Best Single Engine Cat Design
Check out Nordic's New 28SS Cat... this single engine cat was designed by Thane Tiemer the same tooler that designed most of the Daytona Series... This cat with a single engine 1350 HP at lake of the Ozarks ran 141mph and they also have one with a Teague 800HP that runs 116mph!

Are you a dealer?

Just replying to "GoingForBroke's" Thread:
"Best Single Engine Cat Design I'm looking to purchase a single engine cat. I know their is a wealth of knowledge and experience on the board and would like to draw from it. My criteria for "best" would be safety (predictable ride at all speeds), quality of build, value, speed, and functionality (a reasonable day boating with family and friends). The first and only boat I've ever owned was a Checkmate 259 Convincor (for reference) and I loved it. Thanks in advance for your opinions, Rob" Offering some media links in regards to Single Engine Cats.. I have been seeing a lot of press on Nordic's New 28SS... My advise would be to contact Nordic Directly for more information. |
It's a good looking boat.
|
Ive seen this boat in person.. Great looking Cat..!!
Nice Vids!:drink: |
Thats a good looking boat, but damn that would be a lot of coin to drop on a single engine boat with a 1350.
|
great looking boat but....RPM should be at the least right beside it IMHO as best :party-smiley-004:

There are other performance enhancements too. They carry weight better, particularly at midrange speeds, they acellerate better because they have more hydrodynamic lift at slow and midragne speeds, and porpoise very little. If you look at the newer (I call them gen 3 designs) Nordics, Eliminators, RPMs, and DCBS, they all have elevated center pods, that ride completely free at high speed, so you get the best of both worlds. There are very few single engine cats with no center pod. It makes for a much higher CG, and very high drive mounting. The center pod also gives the drive some protection from rough water. As for their rough water handling, they seem about the same as "true" tunnels of their own length. Thurston, thanks for the links! Kick ass videos. Regards, Steve |

And the pod protects the drive's lower unit from high speed water damage.
thank's mike |

Nice looking boat, but the performance is not that impressive. :( I had a Carrera 257 with a Teague 800 in it and it ran 118 pushing through a B-max. It sounds to me like the performance is along side of everything else out there.
The RPM is definitely impressive. That is what I would look at if I was in the market for a single engine cat. |

I like this one..

Pegs a 125 mph gps speedo, pushing 130. If you can find a good one there isnt a better handling single engine cat.
