2.5merc /scat cat
 

has anyone ever tried putting big azz power on one of these little cats, If so what happened, anyone get killed? I want to buy one, rienforce the transom and hang at least a 150 on it. think it'll work or am I gonna eat it :D :eek:
Winter is gettin long this year and I need more projects.:rolleyes:
Martin.

I am in Ohio with ya.. we can pull a 2.5L off my cat and giver hell, I'll go for the ride.... and yes we will both be killed, :rolleyes:

i bought a mini-cat off a guy in New Mexico that had a 150merc on the back.....it was a 14'er true tunnel cat.....he said it got to 70mph and started lifting the sponson!! :eek: Said it was very scary! and when you came off plane the water would rush over the back of the transome and flood the cockpit! Said it never sank but the bilge pump ran for a while after words!!! Some crazy people out there! :D :D

packinair lets run it at alum creek next year.
Wally what power did you run?

That perticular cat i never got running and sold it cause it was just collecting dust.....this other mini i have had a 50hp outboard on it. Thats all it was rated for

And everyone thinks I'm nuts because I wanna hang a 40 on my 10 foot cougar cub,geeesh!!!

I could see 2 300x motors on a 12 ft cat being certian death, but I bet a single 200, or 225 on a 8-10 ft cat would be a wild ride on glassy water not so much top end cause I my pilot lic. isn't current but acceleration would be killer.

What if we take both of mine and hang one off the front with some kinda bracket cause 2 on the back would sink us for sure... Hmmmmmm...

Dont' know about the cat but I have a very tiny 16' V bottom ski boat . It is rated for 80 hp. I have a 140 hp on it ! I don't know how fast it goes but it is faster then the hull ,AND I ,can handle ! ON flat water it is awesome ! Add a 6" chop and you got problems !:eek: I have stuffed it about 3 times ! Lucky no damage . I can tell you with the battery, 12 gallons of gas and the motor in the back it sits with the rub rail right on the water ! If you get a little breeze it is eough to get wet in the boat !

Why not up on Erie? ;)

JO, I have been looking for a 15ft. Ocean Express Mini Racer or similar to do the same thing that you are talking about.

I've never heard of a Scat Cat, is it anything like a ZapCat?

there are a few pics this thread.

hyper thats to big, I want something totally nuts like an 8footer.

Cant see pics yet... But It seems like doing 60+ in an 8 footer is Suicide, Do you need a Co-Pilot :D

As you can see from the pic of my cub on that thread,a little 25 sits way high on the transom,can you imagine a v6 on there. Never mind that I think the weight would put the back under water.

How about a 9footer? Ebay link
Just rip out the jet unit, redo the transome and hand the 2.5 on the back!!! :drool: :eek: :D

wally, your startin my gears turnin but he wants to much for the boat considering I'd scrap the entire drivetrain.

Yea i know...but thought i'd throw it out there at ya! :D :D

I'm seeing more and more of these mini's all over ebay! heres another mini-cig: Ebay link

did you read the discription "ocean capable" lmao thats sounds more dangerous than the promax motor idea.

This little ripper caught my eye too.
Hey can one of you photo shop guys throw a 2.5 on here:D :eek: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=26434

LOL, I'm telln ya man.....we should all get some bad a$$ little monsters together (liek 20 of em) and start a rubber knife gang!! LMAO!!! Can you just see a big band of these mosquito's ripping around a lake! Or rafting off one another pulling up to a bar? LOL!!!!! :D :D

I think the mini-cig would be great with the big V-6 hanging on the back, but I would not even think about any big water or saltwater. Charlie

Thats the Paradise 13' Supposed to have good handling considering it is 13'

and another one! :D http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=31270

Mini Muscle Boats
 

I had a 1972 13' Checkmate Mx 13 for about 10 years. During that time I bolted many different motors to the back. The largest was a 6cyl Mercury.

I like to think I am an intelligent man. Perhaps I was drinking a bit too much of the blue cool aid, but when you launch your boat and the transom floats aobut 6 inches under water, it should be a sign...
