The CNC machines are once again running and shaping the foam that will build Doug Wright's next 35 foot cat. The design has come from his winningest 32 foot cat in both OPA and SBI. Because the new hull is a Computer Aided Design (CAD), he's able to bypass the traditional build the plug-then-mold methods, by going straight to building the mold. He's able to do this because CAD drawings already have the specifications for the (female) mold. And by doing so, the design, build, and production stages are cut in half, saving Doug Sr and Jr time and cost.
The video below shows the large CNC machine cutting away the foam for the mold which will become the tooling for the new 35 foot cat.
...and further below is the computer renderings of the new Doug Wright 35 RT pleasure cat. According to Doug, the first one is already sold and two more deals are currently being worked on.

CNC machine shaping the new 35 foot cat mold. Using CNC machines will enable the part to be symmetrically identical thus making the mold perfectly straight.

The latest computer renderings of the 35 RT
When customers want new enhancements to the hull, all that Doug does is to go to the CAD renderings, adjust the specifications, mill a new part and the part fists perfectly in the build.
From the visible transom design cues, I see cutouts for the outboards. Possibly 400R, 400ROS, and 7-Marine motors?

Could be a winner w 400(450)ROS motors and a 100mph cruise. The 32/34 DW w 700s was my 2nd choice when I bought my Skater. Ultimately the bigger hull size of my 3212 was a partial factor. A 35DW would definitely get my attention.

My educated guess, however, is that anything from Seven Marine is not a realistic power option because of weight—plus the folks at Seven Marine, for better or worse, are not targeting go-fast catamarans as their market.
