Re: Superboat Cat.
 

Now I wannanuther cat! :D What's the sccop FX? Half the performance boats out west are cats. JC needs to copy a Skater mold and sell a 32 for $150k.

Re: Superboat Cat.
 

:eek: Yeh Why not.????

Re: Superboat Cat.
 

Cats are such a pain in the ass to lay up. You guys have no idea.

Re: Superboat Cat.
 

If its a skater splash I'll get in line now!!!

Re: Superboat Cat.
 

Rick, I'm really thinking SUPERCAT !!!! :D What a photo show, the Cat lay up !!!!! :D

Re: Superboat Cat.
 

I'd be interested in a high deck model. How do they run with a big single??? :D

Re: Superboat Cat.
 

Back in the late 80's-early 90's I knew a guy who had a red 32 Superboat cat named "Lights Out" It had a pair of 540's with Speedmaster II or III's..can't remember.
It was one of the baddest boats around back in the day. Also was really decked out in the cabin, especially for a cat. Had a full cabin, hot water heater and a bath tub installed in the stbd sponson. :drink: :evilb:

The last time I saw it was at a repo lot in Mendon, Mass. back in 1994. It was still in great shape but had a blown drive. I had bid 21,500 and I heard it sold for 22k!

Wonder where it's at now?

If Its Going To Be A Single It Better Be A Jet Motor From A 757. And 3 Gear Splitters.

Re: Superboat Cat.
 

:D Whatever it takes!

Re: Superboat Cat.
 

I did speak with JC about the SUPERCAT 32, the boat can be built. Pure Energy I saw your post prior to calling John about the single BB, his thoughts are twins. ( Mike you were correct ). I must say all this talk does take us away from our loved Y2K's ( sorry I lost my mind ) I'm just trying to get to 100 easy with not so big power, how about twin Yannmar 440's hooked to the Konrads ???? This can go on and on...........Cat, motors, drives ????? The other problem INSU. on one of the Cats.............as I stated when I started the thread, " THINKING OUT LOUD " !!!!!

Re: Superboat Cat.
 

I hate to addmit it but a sb cat compared to newer competition is almost a slug. They are built like a brick but line it up next to a 32 skater and its done. :(

Re: Superboat Cat.
 

Just spoke with Sy Goldberg ( total dollar Insu ). No Insu. policys written on Cats without previous experience/onwership. :eek: Thats the end of that.

Re: Superboat Cat.
 

That's ok Garry, The cat would take as much or more to get 100mph than a Y2K. Much heavier boat. That I know of the Y2k runs within a few mph of any 30'+ single engine cat anyway.

Re: Superboat Cat.
 

Tom I just was looking at the Superboat site, it shows the Cat @ 3900 reg lay up, and 3000 lite lay up ??? I wonder how the cat market will be for 1st time buyers with no Insu. out there to purshase. :eek:

Re: Superboat Cat.
 

I think that weight is without power.
They are insuring cats out here everyday. That's if you pay cash up front of at least five grand!

Re: Superboat Cat.
 

Only way the Sb Cat would be a good option is if they update the bottom and take advantage of the newer composits... Other wise it would be a waste of money. Not knocking SB they just need to update the cat to make it a worthwile purchase.
