New Skunkworks 32" Catamaran

[tth]

Thanks Simon I like the Arneson Drives too for a scale look. Kevin's first cat was awsome, but from what he's saying this new baby will be better

Scotty, any chance of selling this hull with some appropiate twin drive hardware, rudder and mounts already installed?

Any up dates on your progress?

My wife and I have a new baby girl in the family. I do have a CNC man working on a new design for the rudder standoff. He has been very busy so progress is slow. my initial setup will be twin Neu 1509/2y & CC 120's. In the meantime I have also purchased a pair of Neu 1515/1y and CC 240's. I have all sorts of goodies in the way of props so just stay tuned. There is more to come, I've just been very busy with the family lately.

Congratulations on the new member of the family. I know how it is when you want everything to be just the way you want it. I am slowly gathering parts for my hull and realistic time frame will hopefully be by summer. Everyday seem like I change my mind about something arrggh.

TTH did you start to drill your hull yet? I know you got the proto so your may be different but on mine the transome (rudder standoff) has aluminum between the glass. Not to sure where else is got it. It's pretty thick too at least 1/4".

mines on its way!

I have not made any penetrations yet. Been really busy at work and my cnc man is taking a long time getting to my custom rudders. Now that you have mentioned it I am curious to see. I will just have to wait tho until I get my rudder in place to know the mounting position. Thanks for the heads up. Anyone else have input on this matter?

tth Is there any way of getting your cnc man to do an extra rudder assembly?

I just got my boat from Scotty and setting up for twin drives, but I can't find a decent inline rudder at a reasonable cost.

Bernouli to be honest with you I haven't talked to him in several weeks. The last time I contacted him he wasn't even started. Things here in the south are getting busy in my line of work. I've been having to go offshore alot lately. He is going to make several of them for me. PM me your address and I'll reserve one for you. I don't know a definate price yet but I can tell you its around $65.00

Skunkworks Cat

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.........

Mine arrived today. Excellent packing protected the hull and canopy. Starting on the twin 9XL motor installation.

Made a little progress on the Smelly Kitty!!! All you fella's on here getting your twins wet are getting my blood pumping. Been so busy at work and with the family I haven't had much time for my boats. So the struts are now mounted with the rudder on the transom. After the hardware was assembled I wanted to try a rough layout of equipment. Looking pretty good so far. Definately not much room to work with. Enjoy the pics.

[BakedMopar]

Nice dude. Yep family always comes first. You'll love this boat. It looks so cool sitting in the water. I've only run mines once but for the first time out I was more than happy. I hear ya, what looks like a lot of room soon dissapears with twins!

Will be watching this one for sure.


Aloha,
George

Thanks George I think I'm the only person running struts while all others are running stingers. Im curious to see how different if at all it performs????

[tiqueman]

Any more pics of that rudder?
