Default RPM redline Cat?

Anybody have an RMP redline 26' cat? How are they working out? I love the wrap around windshield on those and spectre cats.

If I'm not mistaken, there was a good writeup on the RPM Redline 26' Cat in Powerboat Magazine and it received an award a few issues ago. I think it was the fastest single engine cat that they ever tested @ 100 mph+ powered by a Merc 525.

My opinion, best single engine cat out there. A friend of mine is flying back to test drive and hopefully buy the 525 boat. Will let you know how it is. I've heard that Doug Wright was behind some of the design and mold work, that should say alot right there.

REDLINE 26 --- 95 MPH with a 525 - Fastest 26-28 cat with a single 525

NORDIC 27 THOR --- 93 MPH with same power ranked #2 in in the class

HTM I think is 3rd but not sure of the exact speed.

Fit/finish quality is great on them. One owner bragged about how well it handled/rode in rough water. He was very pleased with it.

I wish there was more info on them I know there is not a lot so it's hard to get a real idea of how they are.

Also hard to know what the used market value is being that There is next to none being sold (which has to speak highly of them).

I def like them a lot.
