Skate is right. Just under 700lbs. Like 690lbs. That is a bunch for a small cat. My x motors are 465 or so. They way I see it is an additional 440lbs eats up 50 hp or so in just weight. I am sure they will accelerate well but question the longevity of the lower unit. Hope they reworked that too.

The new power appears to be targeted towards the big CC's which are basically dominating the market.
It will be interesing to see who will put the $$$$ down to experiment and Verado power on a cat and what the results will be......

Here is one more thought I wonder if Peter thought about. How about bringing back an entry level 24' Skater Single engine 400hp Verado. Lighter than twins, Would easily run a 100mph, A lot less money than rigging twins.
This would allow some to get back into HP Boating.
I bet he would sell some.
