At the end of the Vid it appears that the Cat schools the V pretty good. The V looks like an old Apache but the quaility of the video is pretty poor so its hard to tell.

It's a straight bottom Top Gun or Tiger.......they painted a bunch with that pattern and you can see the oval on the rear at the end of the video.

The cat sounded a little lazy like it had to much prop,knock her down a notch skipper and let them motors eat.

It never sounded like the Cat 's motors were opened up until the very end of the clip. I think they were just cruising along until then.

I think that was Ottos Spectre. A pair of 1500's and #6's. Boat ran like 160. His name on here is 36spectre I think.

I don't think they were really racing him Bill. When he does give it gas, he walks away pretty hard. I know a lot of times guys pull along side us to race and due to traffic or water conditions, I am not ready to engage, yet. It is on my time.....
