      Hey Brian if you build more of the cat hulls I'd be interested in one. We have a mini-cat Velocity that had a run in with some rocks and ripped the whole transom off. All the parts and hardware are just sitting here waiting for a new home.

        This is what I actually made the boat for! I had one of the cats and wanted something that looked like a mystic and was just a little larger. then I ended up selling the cat.....

          We loved that little cat. My son is still mad at me for wrecking it. Me and my son both love the Mystic hulls too. Well if you have or make anymore let me know.

                  Water line

                  I would mount it right were you have it. I have only one concern right now, what are you going to do for water cooling? You have a beautiful looking boat there right now. If you run a silicone water line up and down through the back of it, I might have to make a road trip and hurt you!

                  Could you bring the water line in from the stern to limit the loop, or add a bottom pickup to the right sponson. That is what I did on my apparition cat and it looks much better now without the "scale" water line! Also upgraded the rudder to a proper rudder.

                              Twas fantastic. Im home now. Got in yesterday. It is BEAUTIFUL up there. We were in the NW corner in Oconee. Even got to see a tornado! We had a bit of crap weather for 2 days but it didnt stop us. We hiked part of the Foothills trail... went to a couple amazing waterfalls deep in the forrest... Stuff you just dont see in flat ol FL.

                              Oh and I shoulda brought a boat. This is the lake that was behind our cabin
