I have always been impressed with the numbers they get out of Cat Lite, prop technology has really opened that door. Bob raced with us in OPA's Class1 a time or two when we were still running 750 Supercat motors and we couldnt catch him. Just out of curiosity are these top end numbers of the 525 boats with crash boxes and if so what would switching to a shiftable trans do to top end?

I'm sure all of the race boats have crash boxes, I know Bobs has them for sure

Thanks, i sorta figured they all had crash boxes. I was just wondering what it would do to the top end speed switching to a regular shiftable trans in a cat lite. Guess i was just thinking out loud like if someone were to buy a retired cat lite and want to "civilize" it for pleasure use (even thought its really not that tough to get use to shutting down to shift and re fire)

Those are some impressive numbers and not doubting it for a moment. Curious, what is the fully rigged dry weight of the boat?

40 MTI speed
The 40 with 525's is alot faster than most people would expect.
Great acceleration if u prop it to run in the 120MPH range but the new style SCL versions will easily run in the upper 130's light on fuel.
