Well one word tells how the first run went FLAWLESS! Do some more testing and then head off to Cleveland. Thanks to everyone that showed positive interest in Jay & Bob Mullers project. Also the help of many good people on this board for helping me with posting. Hope everyone enjoyed seeing the step by step progress and then the finished product.

IF YOUR IN CLEVELAND STOP BY AND SAY HEY! :D

I feel like I was a apart of building the boat because of the plethora of pictures taken, which to say the least were better than most magazine articles.....

(Ryan Beckley's Brother, just so you know who I am ... I didn't get to meet you in Savannah after all ...)

Okay enough jokes about kleenex....or are they jokes?? :)

I must say that I am in awe of the rigging job on this gem!!

Great job guys!

For all of you who have been viewing the Birth of a Supercat, my name is Grant Bruggemann of Performance Panels & Custom Rigging. I am the person responsible for rigging and testing the Supercat.

I have been working on race boats here in the United States as well as Australia for a total of 16 years. I have had the pleasure of working as a crew member for a number of teams, over the past years I have also had the priviledge of working my way up to Crew Chief on a number of teams. Testing and racing different race boats of all makes and sizes has proven an asset in all areas of rigging boats. My next project could be one of the first offshore boats to reach 200 mph.

For any questions or comments regarding this job or any future jobs, please email me at [email protected].

Hey Grant!
Welcome to THE BOARD!
Good Luck on your new project!:D

:cool: :cool: :cool: VERY COOL THREAD:cool: :cool: :cool:

what speeds are you seeing ?

that picture looks like its going about half throttle.

wheres the pics of the boat shooting a 20 foot high 50 foot long rooster tail with the whole boat out of the water besides its drives and tail end????:cool:

Too Old, I bet the pipes out the top are great for two reasons. Not a chance of water reverbaration or anything else nasty that happens in the mill area in a big sea and second, they are louder for the fans!

Hey Yahoo,
MPH # are competitive. Jay & Bob need some seat time
and they will be ready for Cleveland.
beerock&Ron P, Keep your eyes open this weekend you might
see this bad boy at The Jersey shore! :cool:
Too Old will we see ya in Cleveland?

Grant,
Congrats on your first post. dont worry this is only my second.
Great Job Buddy.

Grant as a racer I can really really respect the quality of work you have put into this boat.Thanks for sharing the steps with us all.No detail is to small when it comes to racing and it looks like you gave them all the tools needed in supercat.Now its up to Jay and Bob to fine tune it and kick some ass.Its always easyer said the done!
Thanks Randy

What's up with the SBI site showing Broschi in 2nd,
I saw Jay & Bob with the flag, and a great speech from
Jay's youngest son when he grabed the mic (yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) when
recieving the trophy.
