There would have to be minor changes made to a 438 in both width and length to fit into the Super Cat class as the rules sit right now - 66" max tunnel width and 42' 0" LOA.

damn they should have raced the DW, I mean they sell those too. Idk why they would Choose
to race the gayest **** box brand on the planet. Oh well!

They should call it "DW 13M".
Somewhere in the middle, 42'7". :)

EDIT: PHRAGLE beat me to a metric jibe by a few seconds. Lol.

Just FYI, I believe the PBC team will be racing a 43' version of the 48' MTI. Not a standard 42' like teams have in the past.

That's what I've heard also Greg, and I won't be surprised if it has a bottom very similar to a 438.:rolleyes:

Waterline length should be the standard. LOA could be used for bogus selling ads.

I have a friend that had a custom houseboat built and ordered a 30’ Hull - the max for his slip. The boat showed up and didn’t fit. He was thinking overall length but the boat builder goes by the waterline. Oops. Everyone involved are super smart engineers just speaking on different terms.

How do you measure the waterline? At rest? That’s pretty irrelevant for 99% of consumers. I think having an approximate idea if it’ll fit into your slip or garage is more useful.

It will be interesting to see if it is considered "underpowered" as was the other large 400R powered cat.
