Lightning boats is building the 27 Cat from Orion Custom Boats. They have a few on order, i believe that boat went out with a 1000hp blower set up.

Is that the same bottom from the original Ultra 27 shadow or is it different?
When I was at Genesis I saw a 27' Shadow mold?

Lightning should work on an STV Euro clone. That would rock. :cool:

No it is not the same bottom and the cat mold you saw at Genesis was not a 27 Shadow mold since they only have one Shadow mold and my boat just popped out of it and before that it was being blocked and seasoned for my boat.

probably the 27' Orion...I think was also at the 06 LA show as an Adrenalin??
Don't know the origins of it at all, but definitely different than the Ultra

Don't know anything about that exact boat only that the Lightning 27 Cat is not the same as a 27 Shadow (Ultra). I have driven the Orion 27 before though with a motor between 600-650 HP.
