New Skunkworks 32" Catamaran

[tth]

Merry Christmas from my wife to me!!!! She suggested that I theme this build after the two drivers that lost their lives on the Victory 1 may they rest in peace. This is the new Skunkworks 32" Cat. I was fortunate enough to purchase the very first one produced. This hull is very rigid, no need for reinforcement. Just a hair over 2.4 lbs on the scale. I would like to thank Scotty for the hull and may he have much success with this new catamaran. It is a beauty. I have included a few key angles that many of you were wanting.........

Twins?

[tth]

Either twin Neu 1509 2y's on 4s or Single Neu 1527 1.5D on 6s.

You are a lucky guy! The hull looks even better than the pictures Scotty had posted. I'm hoping that the rest of the hulls aren't far behind if he sold you the original!

[Jeff Wohlt]

Better give that wife of yours something nice! You have a good one that is for sure!!

Either twin Neu 1509 2y's on 4s or Single Neu 1527 1.5D on 6s.

A 1527 in that hull will have more then 1 hp (750 watts) unusable power. You dont need that much however the reason you might want to put that motor in is because you already own the motor. Even a 1521 has more power then necessary and will turn enough prop to make that hull flighty. Setup right a 1521 will get you to speeds where blow overs are regular. Cat's trap too much air. If 70 to 80 is your goal invest in a rescue boat.

Nice hull & looks solid. It's a shame it was a gift. I'd kinda like to know what it set her back.

[tth]

John I do also have a couple 1521's. I am leaning towards a twin setup with the 1509's. Only thing is the sponson transom will only accept very limited height stingers. I doubt even MHZ- MTC drives would even work?


Thanks SJFE nice to see you back around.

Very nice hull, looks to be same material than HOTR cat'.
I love the top hatch, can you give me the size of the top hatch? Thanks

[tth]

Not even close, the Skunk Cat is much nicer. This hull is built very rigid. It is nice and light but very stiff. I am at work right now but I'll pull some dim's for the hatch later.

[elvish]

is it painted? i cant seem to see the connecting line between the two parts of the hull

[Heath M]

Put a Neu 1518/1.5D/K (2200kv) in it on 4s and it will haul @ss. That's the setup i'm looking at if i can get my hands on one.

I just got word that I will be getting one shipped very soon - I can't wait to get it. I was thinking of twins as well, Aveox 36/30/1.5 and SV stingers. Tracy do you think these stingers will fit?

[tth]

Chuck I'll check tonight to see if the SV stingers will fit. Contemplating the Fine Design stingers also. I have a purple one, just have to see if it will fit the transoms. Fella's this boat is awsome. Best quality hull I have seen in a good while.

Thanks Tracy - I am waiting to hear what you find out.
