New xcat heading for Dubai
I hear new XCAT DW belonging to GB heading for Dubai, same as Hulk but slightly lower . or that`s what i been told . must be fast then .
|
It it totally different than Hulk and it belongs to OMAR.......
|
Is it a 30 or 32ft?
|
30ft.
|
So the decided to run the 2.5/200's than?

It's a 30' and Sharkey got the rights to photograph it from Gary and Omar at the KW Worlds. Sharkey has a full photo spread of the boat on his site.
|
It's is 2.5 powered, for X-cat......
|
I recall talk about the class moving from the 2.5/280's to the 200Xs motors.. figured they went that way as a 30ft boat would seem to be a better choice with the lower horse-power.
|
That idea went away. The class likes the 2.5's better I guess.
|
I like it!

It is Omar's and headed to Dubai for the X-Cat Series. The Hulk boat is very tall in the canopy because the owner is a tall guy. This boat is a 30 low profile.... because the courses in the X-Cat are not as rough as here in the U.S. I do not think the WPPA... has a mandatory long lap anymore. I.E... outside of the break waters. Thus, a smaller boat with a lower profile should be a good prescription for podiums:drink:. No need to worry it is dog slow and not a threat:cool-smiley-027:!

KAP xcat has weight limits based on lenght. the boat, which is a 32 just shortened several inches, allowing it to be classified as a 30 and also allowing it to weigh 200 lbs lighter than normal 32's. it also has the wider tunnel as allowed per xcat rules. and yes the deck is cut down. have too say DW's are probably the best outboard cat to date. cant remember when another builder has dominated here in the states other than when skaters first came out. plus there is always 1 or 2 running up front in Xcat. plus Doug is soon to debute a new pleasure 32 |

The running surface is 4 inches shorter than the 32 by moving forward the notch. The bottom steps at the keels have been turned from a rearward angle to perpindicular to the tunnel which is also 4 inches. So the entire bottom moved forward 4 inches requiring less engine setback.
The hulk has the 32 canopy while Omars boat uses the 38 canopy. Hulk is full carbon, Omar has glass hull and carbon deck. Ballough has a x cat version in the mold now and another full carbon boat will be in the mold right behind it. |

I hear the WPPA is going to provide each team with boxes for the motors so everyone is on the same limiter. Imagine that good idea. Plus, they need some fresh teams on the podium if it is the same guys over and over it really get's kinda old.

I think at the end of last year they built one or were testing one with a wider tunnel. I am sure all Xcat teams will be updating to faster boats soon.
Then everybody is going WTF how is it they smoked us by a desert mile. That would be my plan if it were my team keep everything on the down low and go out and walk away from the field. In any event stay tuned for the unveiling of the finest Outboard pleasure boat you have ever seen. Due out early in January 2012 just weeks away. Merry Christmas & Peace be with You! KAP |

Yes of course they have more mods....you need to squeeze everything you can for that edge in a class with 21+/- boats.

They keep their mouths shut and put up the numbers on the course. Then everybody is going WTF how is it they smoked us by a desert mile.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBK9W...ure=plpp_video It`s annoing running these big boats and running most of the races on the flat . GB and us usually have a good 1st couple of laps between us then he catches up and get`s passed us , most of the races he finishers one postition infront sometimes 2 .I guess he will be top 5 with this new boat . |
