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.

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......................
