That 15" looks sooo bad ash!


It appears that Grant's got a major share of the American market's rigging of hi-perf cats with 400R/400ROS motors

On the Skater catamaran side, Grant's Signature Racing definitely leads—but don't forget the guys at DCB Performance Boats. They've done—and are doing—quite a bit of rigging work on their own Verado 400R-powered sport catamarans.

Paint is very in keeping ( sistership??) with the 3210 that was re-rigged with the 400's from the previous triple 300X

Sweet build - best of both worlds... big O/B power efficiency/reliability and a 368 to handle the rough

TNT has done more than their share of 400 upgrades as well.

TNT definitely has the CC segment on this.

How is this 368 able to run the 400ROS motors when they require it to be run in 3 races?

I was told only 1 race. And he will be running it in 1 race from what I hear.

That was my understanding as well.

"Skater’s purchase agreement with Mercury Racing includes a stipulation that the boat will compete in at least one offshore race. (The engines do not come with warranties.) The most likely events for that to happen, according to Cutsuries, will be either the 2016 Offshore Powerboat Association World Championships or the 2017 OPA-sanctioned Lake Race." From this story, https://speedonthewater.com/new-boat...boards-for-368.
