ultimate cat???

[BTBennett]

if you were gonna build a cat from scratch and wanted too break into the boat builing buiss what size and style would you start off building???

[Taylor E. Fernsten]

you need to build a 25-30 ft cat with either an option for twins, and it needs to ride on air, DCB makes the best cats around

I'm in the process of designing one and it's abou 36ft on the centerline. I hope that someday I will put it into production if only for myself. If you want to start a company go with something practicle then go nuts.

I don't know for sure, but perhaps Dave wants to avoid the political soap opera cluster fu^k that off shore racing has evolved into over the last 20 years. devil

ALL REALITY ASIDE........
THE ULTIMATE CAT FOR ME WOULD BE OR SHOULD I SAY CAT COMBO WOULD BE.....
32 SKATER WITH A 6000+ HP TOP FUEL MOTOR ALONG WITH ANYTHING THAT IT TAKES TO STRENGTHEN THE HULL...... :D
IT WONT BE FOR SPEED THOUGH, STRICTLY TO IDLE THROUGH THE CHANNEL AND THROW REVS THAT WILL SCARE THE HELL OUT OF EVERYONE AROUND.....
ANYONE WHO HAS STOOD BEHIND A TOP FUELER IN THE PITS KNOWS WHAT ITS LIKE WHEN THEY THROW A REV TO HEAT THE CLUTCHES AND SHOULD BE WITH ME ON THIS ONE........... burningm
WHAT MAKES THIS A CAT COMBO IS THE 34 DCB WAITING IN THE WATER FOR YOU TO CLIMB IN AND MAKE 145MPH PASSES IN..........THATS THE RELIABLE BOAT... :D
I SAID ALL REALITY ASIDE....... eek!
OH YEAH, IF I MADE MY OWN BOAT IT WOULD BE ALONG THE LINES OF THE UNPRACTICAL TOP FUELER SETUP.. :D

OH YEAH, IF I MADE MY OWN BOAT IT WOULD BE ALONG THE LINES OF THE UNPRACTICAL TOP FUELER SETUP.. :D I'm with ya!!! My dad had a boat that was damn near as loud. He couldn't idle around because you had 2 options... 0MPH or cruise!!! I don't recall the HP figure but all I know is that he had to do is hold the throttle down for a second or two and it was official that he won the race. He sold it to a friend of his then they sold it and we don't know where it is anymore. I just remember being little(around 5 or 6) and my dad tossing me in the water and making me pull the boat past the 5MPH bouies because he didn't want to get wet. That may have be cruel but I got to feel what those NASA guys feel in the G-force pods and have all the blood rush to back of my skull.

Nobody really knows what it pull in the ways of HP including my dad. The average guess is about 1500 HP plus or minus 100HP. Honestly, no matter how unbelivable that sounds, I kinda think it's right if not shooting low. It's atleast a 1400 pony boat.

My Ultimate Cat would be the one where the insurance cost is equal to the V boat insurance cost with equal horsepower. :)

I asked Dave that recently and he does have some offers on the table right now to build something for next season...I think if it happens it will be only 1 boat though for the 1rst season..I agree with you 3 days, DCB should be represented and I hope the "deal" happens

[=PAYED CA$H=]

PHAT KAT,
THATS A NECK BREAKER FOR SURE.......
I WOULD'NT MIND GETTIN A RIDE IN THAT...... :D

[MW4Adventure]

Fattest cat Pipedream
32 Skater w/3,000hp lycoming t-55 turbine burning some cheap diesel at a pace of 100 gal/hour. And if you really want to kick it up you run an alcohol/water mix.
And just go ahead and bolt that to an Alison surface drive.
What else is built to run 100% all the time? Nothing.

It would sure put DCB into prespective when running against boats such as Skaters, & MTI's in a regulated competitive enviroment, where teams have large funds for set-up. Instead of what we see every weekend which is just Horsepower & Balls.
