can not recall a kilo run done by a cat trying to break the record in the past 10-15 years. Shootout passes yes not Kilo passes.
If they were done there are pleasure built boats not custom kilo style small race boats being built that run 200+ mph
Many of the manufacturers MTI, Skater, Mystic, Outerlimits could build a cat to run way over those speeds with 1650's or way way over with some 2000 hp engines.
The numbers the V's of Outerlimits and Fountain are reaching is extremely impressive but a well designed cat will always have the advantage on the speed and stability at those speeds.
Just like the V bottoms have become IMO
The risk rewards of going those speeds as a manufacturer just doesnt make alot of sense except bragging rights
