Probably made of unobtanium. I almost bought a Velocity with twin montys but opted for one with 260s'. It was quite a handful for a newb with no experience to performance boating.

Yes it is a 32.

Are you guys sure? It's got John-Rudes on it, I thought that was illegal.

We are sure yes, but please note it is about to heave itself on to the rocks in shame. This is the equivelant of Hari Kari for boats.

Yes that boat is wood as are all of the Argentinian hot boats. They also build larger models and are not uncommon as a few of them run in x-cat .



What's the advantage of building them out of wood?

I'm associated with this builder who with a little convincing can build your SOB cat designs.

Let's try it!

I have a builder with 30 outboard molds with full composite schedule and he needs no convincing. I just need mo money. He was ready to build me one 10 yrs. ago. I just need mo money. I never stated I wanted a single true tunnel. I have always owned and liked twins......................
