I am looking into building a 60 in. cat was just wondering what is a good strong hull to start with as most of the time water conditions are choppy or small waves ( 1-2 in ). been looking at bonzi, hpr, central marine any input greatly appreciated. Looking to run twins and speed's around 60-65 6's-8's. Was talking with tom at expresscraft but he is not building right now. so looking for alternative.

I use an Insane G3, 3080/5t 10s 2p. Handles rough water very well, I test in Lake Ontario, rough as can be, or like glass. came in first at the CanAm in open cat .
Cheers, Jay.

Jay. That's because I wasn't up there this year. LOL. Solid set up. I run an big Expresscraft 54" cat on 10s with a 3080/9 and a monster prop. 470/3. Runs in big water great. Need robust equipment to run big boats.

Lmao !!! I"ve been using an abc M60x82 with good success ! We'll get down to it at the Michigan cup and the CanAm in 17.....

Love the massive torque when you full on throttle a 3080 at the end of the mill lap, and your cat leaps forward !! big boats are awsome:thumbup1:
