All right everyone is currently building 30' to 36' outboard powered cats. What manufacturer is going to be brave enough to try putting a center console deck on top of one of those hulls? I have an old 2001 31' Cobra Predator center console cat and I really love it. But I am sure that the new cat hulls would be a great improvement to the design. Currently I am running 300 HP Evinrude G2's and can cruise at 55MPH and get 1.9 to 2 miles per gal. I have been looking for for a good replacement for the old girl. C'mon boat builders, how about 75 to 80 mph center console cat?

Sounds like it would be awesome, its a no brainer with center consoles popularity.

Arnaldo (owner/builder) of Predator Powerboats in Patchogue, NY can build you a widebody center console cat, MCOB, or twin console.

You can look at some pics in the classifieds section (non-CC).

Noli, yes I am sure he would build a good one. It's that I don't want to be the test bed. We have traded emails and I have given him my thoughts on what I like about the Cobra. I really want to be able to sea trial a boat before I buy. I went through some "fine tuning" (experimenting) with the Nortech 4300 supercat with how munch to taper the tunnel. How to fill in the the rear 10" step. Use a tunnel extender or not. It was a pain and the factory is right here in Ft Myers. I feel I ended up paying a fair portion of the R&D on the 4300. New York is just too far away for a custom boat. Now to go to B.F.E. to sea trial a boat to purchase is a different story.
