What? Come on man.

That is the exact same logic when people said twin BBC were way too much stern weight for a 27' Magnum Sport. But that just isn't true. I wouldn't mind that 30' cat with a set of 525's that would be A-OK with me.

That's why they don't make them anymore? Now they are called American Offshore, and they have big blocks, and when they were Chris Cats, there a few big block ChrisCats here in New Jersey that ran really well back in the day such as Tango and Cash, plus Ballistic.

Come on man!

The boat ran 110mph with 390hp sb's in powerboat tests, the ilmor weighs less than the scorpions, the doug wright ran into the. 130's with mercury 600's. I see a lot of specter 32's and eliminators, and dcb in that size that run very well

it is true! competitive V single engine boats are over 30' these days. twin v's are about 40'....OLD SV with 750's have no chance against a modern day SV with 525's! old super cats same story...now SCL 525's r racing at 120's! triple OB cats of that era would get beat down by a new twin x-cat!

I do not disagree with this post at all, but your prior post was some straight-up bullsh*t.

Happy Holidays, I am outta here.

so a smaller boat with nearly 800hp runs slower than a larger better handling DW or skater boat does with less than 600. i'm missing something i think

I don't understand your negativity, the predator is a great boat that I'm looking forward to. It will be a great boa t with the ilmors, if I wanted a skater or dw I would buy them, I just like the looks of the. 306 and how ir performs. By the way what cat and cat experience do you have?

Ruh- Row !!!! LOL :lolhit:

:food-smiley-007::hitfan:

i have raced and won in just about every apba premier class over the past 15 years from a 250 hp single to a 4500hp turbine monsters. set records. inducted into the apba hall of fame and currently hold the fastest race recored speed in a offshore cat at 197 which was 193 which i also set. the boats i have set up and rig...win....was the technology editor of a boat magazine...spent way too much time at donzi, lake-x, skater and places all over the world trying to make something better....20+ years in powertrain engineering development and testing for ford motor, lotus, and a few others. i currently consult on boat and yachts around the world. currently under contract now. i am one of the few people that can engineer a part, build it, and then race it at a world class level...prior to racing boats i was a top 10 professional GP racer....seemingly i've managed to make a living racing for the past 25 years.

Whats your name?
Weve built plenty of 32 Skaters, some with eggbeaters some with big blocks and number 6 drives.....ones running over 170mph...i dont see any outboards going that fast :D
Congrats on all the accomplishments, hell of a record!
